Though information provided in this index is limited, all
public information is available for review in our Records
Room during normal business hours of the Court at the Summit
County Courthouse, 209 South High Street, Akron, Ohio 44308.
When using the Historical Marriage License Index, there are
four (4) search criteria that you can use: “Last Name”
and “First Name” of both the bride and the groom.
One of the last names (bride or groom) is required, but using
the first name or first initial is helpful to narrow the search.
If the search is too broad, only the first one hundred (100)
marriages fitting those criteria will show alphabetically.
When the search is successful, you will find the bride’s
name highlighted in the left hand column, the groom’s
name is listed in the center column and the volume/page is
in the right hand column. Clicking on the highlighted name
will bring you to a second screen showing ages at the time
of application, date of marriage, volume and page number of
the record and the name of the officiator.

Go, often referred to as Golang, is a programming language created by Google. It was developed by a team led by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson and was first publicly released in November 2009. Go is designed to be a modern, statically typed, compiled language with a focus on simplicity, efficiency, and concurrent programming.
Key features of Go include:
- Simplicity: Go is designed to be easy to read and write, with a minimalist syntax. It aims to reduce complexity and make code more straightforward.
- Concurrency: Go has built-in support for concurrent programming through goroutines and channels. Goroutines are lightweight, independently executing functions that can run concurrently, while channels allow safe communication and synchronization between goroutines.
- Efficiency: Go is designed for efficiency and performance. It has a garbage collector to manage memory automatically, and its compilation process produces highly optimized machine code.
- Standard Library: Go comes with a comprehensive standard library that covers a wide range of tasks, including networking, file I/O, cryptography, and more. This rich standard library makes it easy to build robust applications without relying on third-party libraries for many common functionalities.
- Open Source: Go is an open-source programming language, which means its source code is freely available and can be used, modified, and distributed by anyone under an open-source license.
- Cross-Platform: Go supports cross-platform development, allowing developers to write code on one platform and compile it for various operating systems and architectures.
- Static Typing: Go is statically typed, which means variables and expressions must have defined types at compile-time. This helps catch type-related errors early in the development process.
Go is commonly used in a variety of areas, including web development (server-side and client-side), cloud services, system programming, networking, and distributed systems. Its simplicity, concurrency support, and performance have contributed to its growing popularity in the developer community. | library |

It is hard to deny the reality of the ILM e JAFAR but in our society it has become a fashion to put a tag of ‘Haram’ on anything that is higher than the intelligence of the persons who claims to hold the authority to issue decree on any matter.
We are presenting here some references from the history to show the authenticity of ILM e JAFAR. Before giving references it will be better to mention the names of scholars along with their books in which they have proved the genuineness of Jafar. These scholars have done a great research on Jafr. The scholars belong to the main two sects of Islam.
|Imam Ahmed Raza Barelvi||Risala Fi Aljafr|
|Mansoor Ibne Halaj Baghdadi||Sir Al Israr|
|Mansoor Ibe Arabi||Behar Al Waquf ILM Al Haroof|
|Abu Al Khair Rabey||Nasus Al Anwar Harfia|
|Abdullah Qurtabi||Fasus Al Haroof|
|Mohiuddin Ibne Arabi||Qawaneen e Taqveen|
|Nasir Uddin Toosi||Israr e Jafr|
|Imam Ghazali||Zairjat o Ashraf Al Murrabaat|
|Imam Khomeini||Kashaf ul Akhbar|
|Tookhi Al Falqi||Sir Al Akhbar|
|Mukarram Ali Muazzam||Kashaf Al Maknoon|
|Umar Bin Al Faras Al Hawi||Qars Al Shams Fi Bayan Al Haroof|
|Abdul Aziz Purharvi||Muntaha Al Kamal|
|Nasir Uddin Al Toosi||Makhzan Al Haroof|
|Bayzeed Bastami||Haqaiq Al Yaqeen|
|Allama Zarqafi||Madaraj Al Barooj|
|Jamsheed Basri||Maani Al Aadad|
|Ahmed Bin Antaki||Yaqeen Min Al Haroof|
A book can be written only to give the names of scholars who have depicted the truthiness of Jafar. These scholars hold utmost authenticity in the history of Islam such as Imam Ghazali(ra). It is surprising to know that many scholars are giving Fatwa against ILM e JAFAR and are ignoring the writings of these greatest scholars of all times.
There is no doubt on the position of Abu Hamid Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al Toosi Al Ghazali ( Imam Ghazali) that he holds among Islamic Scholars. He died in 505 Hijri. Imam Yafeye elaborates the life events of Imam Ghazali in his famous book Mirrat ul Janan. In the third volume of the book on page number 177 he writes that Imam Ghazali holds great ranks and honour among the scholars of Ahle Sunnat. He is also known as ‘Hujjat Al Islam’. Imam Yafeye also writes that Imam Ghazali is the ocean of the knowledge and Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) also showed great pride of having Imam Ghazali to the Prophet Essa(a.s.) and Prophet Moosa(a.s.).
Similarly Allama Jalal uddin Siooti in his book Al Tanbeeh Be Mann Yabt Ullah Aala Ras Kul e Maah writes with the reference of Muhammad Bin Abdul Baqi Al Zarqai of his book Sharha Mawahib Le Denehi volume 1 that he has mentioned Imam Ghazali with great honour and praise. The similar wordings can also be fined in the book Hidayat Al Saada of Shahab Uddin Daulat Abadi. One can ask that if ILM e JAFAR was ‘Haram’ in Islam then why a great personality like Imam Ghazali spent a precious time of his life in proving the authenticity of it.
We now present a glimpse of ILM e JAFAR from the history. The term ‘JAFAR’ or ‘ JAFRA’ is associated with a goat baby when he reaches the age of four months and stops to take his mother milk.
Allama Kamal Uddin Dameri in his book Hayat Al Heywan volume 1 page 197 published from Egypt writes that ILM e JAFAR existed before the Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) and its presence has also mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah Al Araf from verse number 145 to 150 in which we find the connection of ILM e JAFAR with Prophet Moosa(a.s.) scriptures.
Allama Abbas Qummi Muhadis in his book Safina Al Bakhar volume 1 writes that it was Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) Who arranged to write the principles of ILM e JAFAR on a goat skin due to this reason it got fame by the name of ILM UL JAFAR.
Imam Musa Bin Jafar Al Kazim(a.s.) said that during the last days of the life of Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) He took Hazrat Ali(a.s.) to the mountain of Uhadd. Then according to the order of ALLAH(Wahi) the Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) called the goats living in the mountain. Goats gathered around Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp). Hazrat Ali(a.s.) took a four month old goat and slaughtered it on the order of the Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp). Hazarat Ali(a.s.) cleaned the skin of the goat. Then angel Jibraeil(a.s.) came with a pen and ink. The ink was not made from the materials of the earth. Jibraeil(a.s.) said that the writing on the skin goat with this ink will never be faded. The ink was of green colour. The angel Jibraeil(a.s.) conveyed the words from ALLAH to the Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) and then Prophet told Hazrat Ali(a.s.) to write these words. This was a special writing which paints the future of the world, the incidents that will happen to pious persons and the children (Syed / Sadaat) of Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) and matters of the future governments.
Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) said that the articles in the book of Ilm e jafar were in the form of alphabets. Imam Hassan Mujtaba(a.s.) presented the words Alif, Baa , Seen Laam and till the final alphabet. He also said that from each alphabet a news word was extracted. The knowledge of ILM e JAFR that passed to the people was based on two alphabets. For reference see Kitab Al Akhtisas.
Imam Jaffer Sadiq(a.s.) also said that only Prophet MUHAMMAD(pbuh&hp) and His successor (Wasi) can be masters of ILM e JAFAR. Ordinary people cannot attain mastery in this knowledge. He said that the book of jafr holds the entire knowledge related to every person’s life, death, grieves and happiness but in volume the book is short. Hazrat Ali(a.s.) was used to tie the book of Al jafar with Zulfiqar sword.
The book of jafar was written by the hands of Hazrat Ali(a.s.) and later Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) also wrote a copy of the book with his own hands. The book has been travelling from generation to generation in the family of ‘Syeds’/ ‘Sadaat’. The authenticity of the book of jafr has been recognised by the scholars of Sunni and Shia sects.
Ibne Khuldoon Maghrabi in the pretext of his history writes that Haroon bin Said Aajli narrated the sayings of Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) that the book of jafar gives the detail of future incidents specially to the future of Ahl e Bait(a.s.).
In the book Tareekh e Asar Jafri page 74 it is written that the book of jafar is with the family of Abdul Momin. On the other hand the Turkish emperor Saleem Usmani first claimed that the original book of jafr written by Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) was found in Egypt and the book is safe in his library. Traditions say that the original book of jafar is with Imam Mehdi(a.s.).
Ibne Khalkan in the book Tareekh Dakhyat Al Ayaan writes that the pupil of Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) Abu Musa Jabar Bin Hayyan wrote a book titled Kitab Al Jafar Al Aswad. The book contains the lectures and teachings of Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.). The book has thousand pages. Other evidence show that in this book Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.) told the rules and methods of Chemistry to Jabar Bin Hayyan by using ILM ul HAROOF. Jabar Bin Hayyan is world famous for his esteemed position in the Chemistry.Two more books on ILM e JAFAR such as Jafar e Abiaz and Jafar e Ahmar are also associated with Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s.).
ILM e JAFAR is a true knowledge. If a person who is obtaining answer does not make any mistake or does not force his personal ambitions in obtaining the answer then ILM e JAFAR always gives true answer.
Allama Abdullah Al Jazairi says that ILM e JAFAR gives more authentic answers than astrology and geomancy, in fact ILM e JAFAR is the living miracle of the Holy Quran. Allama Syed Jafar Behar Al Aloom Najfi said that if you want your answer in the manner of Holy Quran then you will get the answer from the verse of the Holy Qruan. For instance if you put a question that Who will put life to dead bones the answer will come from the verse of the Holy Quran that The ONE who is the creator of these bones.
In the future we will publish more articles on this topic. | library |

Paulino Mamiir Chol’s Leading the Lost Boys: The Untold Journey Tells the Story of His Extraordinary Personal Journey from Kidnapping Survivor to Leader
Denver, Colorado — Paulino Mamiir Chol looked death in the eye multiple times, surviving abduction, a 3,000-mile barefoot trek in searing heat across South Sudan, and unspeakable starvation during the Second Sudanese Civil War. His memoir, Leading the Lost Boys: The Untold Journey tells of his extraordinary journey from kidnapping survivor to leader, showing how tragedy can be turned into triumph.
As a member of the Lost Boys of South Sudan who led over 700 boys across three African countries, from refugee camp to refugee camp, Paulino Mamiir Chol is the only one in a position to tell this story. A testimony to the atrocities happening at that time—the killings and kidnappings committed by radical militias before and during the Second Sudanese Civil War—the book describes how the author had to build the grit, determination, and sheer organizational ability to save lives, and find freedom. In so doing, he also offers hope in the power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and tragedy—especially when we focus on serving others.
Leading The Lost Boys: The Untold Journey is part of Paulino Chol’s effort to fight the inhuman darkness we are all capable of, and to empower and inspire the hearts of those suffering.
Chol says, “This book is a form of defense, and I promise to fight against inhumanity and human rights abuses. This fight consolidates my belief, faith, and hope in humanity, and human rights.”

At 15, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It inspired my interest in finance, but there is many errors in the book and I would not recommend it. It also gave me a very wrong idea that investing is a sure thing.
Here are the books I would recommend in respective order:
1) Four Pillars of Investing
2) Ivy Portfolio
3) Random Walk Down Wall Street
I think Stocks for the Long Run is a good reference book, but not the first book I will read.
While waiting for Four Pillars of Investing to arrive from amazon.ca or chapters.ca, I recommend reading this important study: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=962461 It's free of charge and about 50 pages to print.
Why wait? It's not a high-demand book, and your local library probably has a copy waiting for you on the shelf.
Seriously, the library should be the FIRST choice for anybody wanting to read a book. If you like the book you can always buy it later, but you can't (generally) return a book you've bought if you don't like it.

About our libraries:
The Long Room of Trinity College Dublin
The Long Room, built in the early eighteenth century and expanded in the nineteenth, holds 200,000 volumes. Its collections date from the foundation of Trinity College in 1592 onwards, and offer readers a treasure trove of manuscript and print material. Find out more about the Long Room here.
The Edward Worth Library, Dublin.
The Edward Worth Library, which is run by the Worth Library Trust, houses c. 4,300 volumes which belonged to an early eighteenth-century Dublin physician called Edward Worth (1676-1733). Housed in Dr Steevens’ Hospital, Dublin, it is an invaluable resource for historians of the book for two reasons. First, Worth was a connoisseur collector, interested in rare printings and fine bindings. Second, he ensured that his collection was maintained in a unique state of preservation, allowing us to see books in their original (or at least early eighteenth-century) condition.

We chat with a local author who just released his second book in a series that serves as a bucket list of must-sees throughout Greater Cincinnati.
Rick Pender wants everyone to explore and experience what Cincinnati has to offer. That’s why he wrote the book “100 Things To Do In Cincinnati Before You Die” and the series that followed.
“My book is a bucket list of suggestions for things to do throughout Greater Cincinnati,” he explains.
The first book is broken down into five sections: Food and Drink; Music and Entertainment; Sports and Recreation; History and Culture; and Shopping and Fashion.
And although the books have Cincinnati in the title, activities aren’t specifically located in the Queen City. “There are recommendations of ‘things’ in Northern Kentucky as well as areas beyond the I-275 beltway,” Pender adds.
The history of Pender’s book series goes back to 2015, when publisher Reedy Press in St. Louis approached him about creating a work that was all about what Cincinnati has to offer. And the choice for them to go to Pender was easy; he has a history as an arts and entertainment editor and has worked for WVXU’s “Around Cincinnati.”
The first book, released back in September 2016, quickly became a popular choice at local bookstores.
However, times change and so do cities. A few years after the first book was published, there were new things popping up in Cincinnati and around the city.
“The Cincinnati Zoo’s Fiona hadn’t arrived on the scene in time for the first edition, Newport still had Duck Tours, and Cincinnati Music Hall was closed for renovation,” says Pender. “It was time for a second edition, released in September 2019.”
Pender says he replaced approximately 12 items with new recommendations and provided refreshed, up-to-date information.
Although some native Cincinnatians may feel like they’ve seen it all, there’s always something new to see that you’ve never seen before.
The book series works for many different kinds of people with different kinds of interest. “It’s a natural for people who are new residents, but it also works for people who have lived here all their lives but haven’t gotten around to visiting some of our iconic attractions or experienced some of our great restaurants,” says Pender.
Currently Pender is researching a new book that will be published later this year called “Oldest Cincinnati.” “It’s a compendium of historic sites, locales, and attractions worth visiting,” adds Pender.
The second edition of “100 Things To Do In Cincinnati Before You Die” can be ordered from Amazon. It’s also available at most area bookstores including Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Rookwood Commons, Barnes & Noble West Chester, and Roebling Point Books & Coffee in Covington.
You can stay up-to-date with new information from Pender on his Facebook page, where he also offers information on book signing dates. Over the holidays, Pender even offered followers ideas on holiday-oriented activities based on recommendations from the books. “I’m always glad to hear from people with further suggestions and ideas,” he adds. “And I’m available for signings and appearances.”

Dr. Arora was gunned down in the library of his residence on June 22, 1998. Arora was found lying on the tile floor in front of his desk in the library, which was adjacent to his garage. He had been shot at close range in the head twice with a .40-calber handgun.
Suicide has been ruled out, as was robbery. Nothing was ever reported missing from the residence, including $179 in Arora's wallet.
Police have no witnesses and only a vague description of a dark sort-utility vehicle that his wife , Ann Marks Arora said she saw leaving the scene.
Arora was a senior partner in Nephrology Associates of Kentuckiana. His colleagues have put up a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction.
Should you have any information regarding the crime you are requested to contact the Oldham County Police Department. | library |

- Protectors of the Endless – When the Sha of Fear invaded the Terrace of Endless Spring, three venerated jinyu protectors were corrupted, and they betrayed the other mortal sentinels, slaying them all. The twisted guardians have now turned their attention to any intruders who might interrupt the sha's attack on the area's last defenses.
- Tsulong – Legends speak of a spiraling, golden serpent that can sometimes be seen high in the sky, basking in the sunlight above the clouds. The few who claim to have observed it themselves say the creature is fiercely protective of the terrace.
- Lei Shi – For countless years, this friendly water spirit frolicked in the Fountains of Endless Spring with childlike wonder and glee. When fighting suddenly broke out in this peaceful place, Lei Shi saw the crystal-clear water turn cloudy and murky, and terror fell over her mind.
- Sha of Fear – The Sha of Fear is the physical manifestation of terror in Pandaria. Imprisoned by the legendary pandaren emperor Shaohao long ago, the entity has been newly strengthened by rising conflict across the island.
- Chi-Ji, The Red Crane – The trial of Chi-Ji is a test of hope. Uncertain of the future of his people, Emperor Shaohao sought out the great Red Crane. The Great Crane challenged Shaohao to find the hope within himself, and cast off his uncertainty. Once the Sha of Doubt was vanquished, the Emperor became a beacon of hope for his people. To pass the trial of the Crane, warriors must believe in hope, even in the darkest of days.
- Yu'lon, The Jade Serpent – The trial of Yu'lon is a test of wisdom and faith. With omens of a bleak future floating through his mind, Emperor Shaohao climbed to the summit of Mount Neverest to seek the council of the Jade Serpent. Yu'lon urged Shaohao to cast off the dark emotions that plagued him, and through his trials, Emperor Shaohao would become one with the land. To pass the trial of the Serpent, warriors must be wise in their choices.
- Niuzao, The Black Ox – The trial of Niuzao is a test of bravery and fortitude. When Emperor Shaohao was overcome with fear, the Black Ox counseled him to face his fears directly. After a protracted battle with the Sha of Fear, the Emperor emerged victorious. To pass the trial of the Ox, warriors must be resolute in the face of overwhelming danger.
- Xuen, The White Tiger – The trial of Xuen is simultaneously a test of strength and a test of restraint. When Xuen gave Emperor Shaohao a 10-foot-pole and asked him to strike one of Xuen's warriors, the Emperor could not land a blow. For without restraint, anger and hatred run wild. To pass the trial of the Tiger, warriors must harness their power, while burying their thoughts of violence.
- Ordos, Fire-God of the Yaungol – Ordos was once a shaman of the Yaungol who sacrificed himself to the flame, following the promises of the Fire Lords, in order to become a demigod. His flesh is eternally seared with fires, putting him in endless agony. Yaungol Fire-Keepers ritualistically set themselves ablaze to emulate the ascension of Ordos, and cast enchantments and prayers to ease his pain. | library |

Its book fund was later supplemented by collections provided by the Ministry of Finance and the State Investment Bank, which comprised financial and statistical reports of the Funds Administration, annual reports, codes and laws of the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia, the National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians and the National Bank of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In addition, the Library has also kept original issues of the first Serbian journal, Serbian Newspaper (Srpske novine, from 1871 until 1918), National Newspaper (Narodne novine, from 1919 until 1941), as well as all official gazettes of the FPRY, SFRY, FRY, SCG and RS.
The Library contains a vast range of domestic and foreign technical literature, classified in several funds: monographic publications, reference books, serial publications, annual reports of central banks and other international financial organizations, central banks’ bulletins, official gazettes and international agreements, daily and weekly newspapers and non-book materials.
In line with the scope of activity of the institution to which it belongs, the Library acquires publications in the field of macroeconomy and microeconomy, monetary and fiscal policy, banking, finance, accounting and auditing, management, marketing, statistics, law, history and sociology.
In a bulletin of newly acquired books and received magazines, the Library regularly informs its users of current acquisitions, whereas a selective bibliography of articles presents current material from serial publications to users.
Within the program of assistance for the South East European region–The World Bank IFC/SEAD - Depository and Regional Library Program – the World Bank chose the Library of the National Bank of Serbia as the regional library. This status involves the acquisition, special processing and keeping of World Bank publications, as well as the requirement to enable widest possible public access to such publications.
The book fund of the Library is used primarily by the employees of the National Bank of Serbia, and persons employed in other banks and financial institutions, government agencies and nongovernmental organizations, scientific researchers, university professors and students. | library |

E. H. Carr (Historian and Writer)
History is one of the most commonplace subjects: it is all around us. Its popularity in books, films and television testifies to its instant appeal, reflecting our enjoyment in a good story, a hunger for knowledge of the past and a desire to develop our understanding of where we have come from.
The study of History not only provides the opportunity to understand the past but also valuable training in the skills of research, empathy, comprehension, as well as an analysis of a wide range of material, to reach a reasoned interpretation and/ or opinion.
At Bentley Wood we believe that History teaches so much more than just some 'dusty old facts from the past' and we aim to provide an experience that will stimulate our students and develop a life-long interest in the subject. Employers and academic institutions place a high value on skills developed through the study of History. In particular, they are impressed by the ability of Historians to research, analyse and present information. Above all, History helps us to think logically and put forward reasoned arguments.
History is a well established subject which can serve as an appropriate academic springboard into a wide variety of courses in higher education and a diverse range of jobs. History graduates are recruited successfully into a considerable range of occupations, which include the law, administration and management, buying, marketing and selling, accountancy and computing as well as teaching, librarianship and journalism. Discerning political leaders and employers have always valued the training history provides.
Our world is littered with fellow historians who have achieved success in a variety of areas, from television to politics, acting to singing: TV presenter Louis Theroux, Ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Hollywood actress and model Miro Sorvino, Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin and of course ex history teacher Sting. We hope that our history students at Bentley Wood will go on to do great things in the future too.
In Year 7 we immerse students in academic historical study through enquiry from their first few lessons. They start in line with the National curriculum in 1066 studying William the Conqueror and the Norman invasion of England. They study themes of power and control and learn skills of analysis and evaluation through studying contemporary source material from the period. Then, Year 7 move through a journey of medieval cultures across the world including the impact of religion in medieval England, and a study of medieval Arabic and Chinese Empires. They also look at the experience of different cultural groups in England, focusing on Jewish and Black history. Towards the later part of Year 7, students study the transformation of power from Monarchy to the people in England, the Reformation and the Renaissance, and they finish by looking at 17th and 18th century Revolutions in the age of Enlightenment.
Students in Year 8 consider the development of Empire with a key focus on how the British Empire affected the rest of the world. They study the trans-Atlantic slave trade, India and Africa with a focus on the Empire from the perspective of both Imperialists and Colonists. They move on to look at the outbreak of War in the early 20th century, the international relations between the wars and the impact of WW2 on Europe finishing with a study of Genocide across time. Year 8 Students complete their KS3 study of history with a unit on local history where they consider how their local area fits into the context of events from medieval times to the present day. | library |

Exhibits should reflect the library’s role as an educational, cultural, and community institution. The Library recognizes its role in supporting Township talent and culture, and therefore extends its preference in scheduling exhibits and displays of Township schools, artists, community groups, and collectors.
Library use of display areas takes precedence over any other use and the Library reserves the right, without notice, to cancel the use of the display area by exhibits if the Director determines that the display space is needed for Library purposes.
The Library reserves the right to deny an organization’s or an individual’s request to exhibit either in part or as a whole. The Library facilities are public spaces which are used and viewed by community members of all ages, therefore exhibits need to be appropriate for general audiences.
No goods or services may be sold as part of an exhibit but artist contact information may be listed.
The presentation of any display or exhibit does not imply any endorsement of the content by the Woodbridge Public Library, its Trustees, or staff.
Agencies which have appropriate facilities are encouraged to exhibit items of interest to the public. The Agency Head should be consulted before the exhibit is arranged. This will allow maximum utilization of exhibits by other branches, cooperative publicity, and increased communication of ideas.
The person supplying the exhibit must provide an itemized list including the monetary value of the items before an exhibit is transported to a library. This information, plus the dates of the exhibition, is given to the Secretary to the Director for the purpose of insurance coverage.

Throwing Stones - 'What's in your family album'
a play by Christopher John Ball and Dean Sipling

“Mid-life male photographer meets young, nubile female student-cum-artistic muse - so far it’s old hat. But photographer turned playwright Christopher John Ball and co-writer Dean Sipling, whose background is film and television, bring the pairing into a thoroughly contemporary world of intercepted emails, sinister insinuation and sharp retorts. Their ‘guilty until proved innocent’ plot ... is thoroughly watchable and believable - perhaps as a result of Ball’s professional insights and DS Dom Lucas’ services as police advisor to the production.” Barbara Lewis – The Stage

The document was authored mainly by SINTEF research scientist Alejandro Oyarce Barnett, with the support of many others in the consortium. The document is a public deliverable, and can be downloaded from this link.
The document presents a number of load cycles for both endurance and accelerated stress tests, as well as a set of reference operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidification, and gas flow. Tests are intended to be carried out in single cells, short stacks, as well as at system level. The report further contains a detailed description on how to perform the electrochemical characterisation of stacks and single cells, e. g. polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV), as well as sampling parameters and rates. Finally, the document also contains a chapter on AST of balance-of-plant components. | library |

The Life and Teachings of Jesus
Three books provided the backbone for Part IV: (1) A Harmony of the Gospels for Historical Study (1904, 1932) by Stevens and Burton, which presents "an analytical synopsis of the four gospels"; (2) Atlas of the Historical Geography of the Holy Land (1915) by George Adam Smith, which contains every city, village, place and other geographical feature mentioned in Part IV; and (3) The Perfect Calendar for Every Year of the Christian Era (1926, 1927) by Henry Fitch, which allows one to find which day of the week any particular date fell on (e.g. that March 16, A.D. 1 was a Wednesday). Two Bible dictionaries—one by Hastings (1909), one by Smith (1870)—were regularly drawn from. Other much-used sources were the Life of Jesus books by Edersheim, Smith, Barton, Bowie, Murry, Wilson, and Fiske & Easton, as well as novels by Norwood and Poling. About thirty-five other books were also used, but in only a few papers at most. Papers 131, 160, 170 are specialized papers in which one source, used in no other paper in Part IV, was the dominant influence. | library |

The evidence of Buddhist texts written in temples in Sri Lanka goes back as far as the first century BC. Over the ages the temple libraries, or ‘Pothgul’, were a major educational tool for monks and nuns as well as the general public until modern educational systems were developed.
It is our duty to share the values of over 2500 year old culture with our multicultural society and let our younger generation smell the scent of our traditions and practices in the light of Buddhist heritage. The major objective of this library is to offer a comprehensive book collection that relates to Buddhist culture and is not freely available in other community libraries.
At present over one thousand books are available in the library which caters to the young up to senior citizen. The majority of these books are written in Sinhala and are associated with Buddhist teaching but a considerable number of books written in English are also available.

Romer's Catering did a fantastic job of preparing an amazing and tasty lunch for all of those who attended. And let's not forget the wonderful Higgins Madewell who kept the entire crowd entertained for the entire event!
It's sad that there won't be another Lunch on the Lawn until next summer, but this one definitely sent us off with a bang! We'll just have to contain our enthusiasm and excitement for another year until we can all start getting together on the beautiful library lawn for good times and loads of laughter.
We here at Main Street Greenville are so thankful for this wonderful community, and the love that each person has for each other. The Greenville Public Library has also been a great host for the outdoor lunches, providing everyone with a breathtaking landscape to relax and enjoy some delicious food. Not to mention the library's generous donations of many interesting free books for all of the events. We are also thankful for the United Methodist Church for providing us use of their space for our July Lunch on the Lawn, that was unfortunately relocated because of rain.
Most of all, we want to thank those who came to support this amazing community we have, and the lovely businesses who help keep it that way! Downtown Greenville is definitely the place to be! | library |

My research focuses on the use and users of born-digital cultural heritage materials, ranging from legacy software to archived web pages. Working at the intersection of digital preservation, information science, and sociotechnical systems, my research asks: what do different communities of practice value about their interactions with born-digital information?

Voters in Jamestown Township, near Grand Rapids, rejected a renewal of an operations millage for the community’s public library Tuesday, leaving the library’s future in doubt. Those leading the effort said the library was indoctrinating children.
Voters in Jamestown Township, a politically conservative community in Ottawa County, rejected renewal Tuesday of a millage that would support the Patmos Library. That vote guts the library's operating budget in 2023 — 84 percent of the library's $245,000 budget comes from property taxes collected through a millage.
Without a millage, the library is likely to run out of money sometime late next year, said Larry Walton, library board president. "I wasn't expecting anything like this," Walton told Bridge Michigan Tuesday. "The library is the center of the community. For individuals to be short sighted to close that down over opposing LGBTQ is very disappointing."
Voters on Tuesday rejected the millage renewal by a 25-point margin — 62 percent to 37 percent — on the same day voters approved millages for road improvements and the fire department.
When the Patmos staff and elected board of directors declined to remove the books from the library's collection, some upset residents organized an effort to defeat the library's millage renewal.
The group, called Jamestown Conservatives, passed out flyers at the town's Memorial Day parade that referenced "Gender Queer: a Memoir," a Pride Month display at the library and a director who, in the group's words, "promoted the LGBTQ ideology."
"Pray that we can make changes and make the Patmos Library a safe and neutral place for our children," the flyer said.
But Walton didn't appear ready to compromise Tuesday. He said he didn't believe the library needed a wake-up call and shouldn't remove books.
"A wake-up call to what? To take LGBTQ books off the shelf and then they will give us money? What do you call that? Ransom?
"We stand behind the fact that our community is made up of a very diverse group of individuals, and we as a library cater to the diversity of our community," he said. | library |

Common History” they were welcomed by Anna Kudła and Zuzanna Peters-Musiał. Part of the permanent exhibition of the museum is dedicated to the history of Brzesko Jews. The moment when Jakob Reifen found in the Book of Remembrance the names of his relatives murdered in the Holocaust was particularly touching.
At 3.00 pm there took place the presentation of diplomas and prizes for the participants of the photo competition “Traces of the Jewish Community in Brzesko” co-organized by the association “Memory and Dialogue. Common history” and the Brzesko public library based on the original idea of Mr Daniel Nalepka.
The director of the library, Mrs Karina Legutek, presented to the audience the objectives and rules of the competition; the chairperson of the Association, Anna Brzyska, introduced the participants to the history of Brzesko Jews, and the jury member, journalist Marek Kołdras, spoke in a very moving way about the submitted photos. Brzesko deputy mayor, dr Grzegorz Brach, presented the awards to the winners – Nina Dubiel for the photo “Peaceful” and Ireneusz Węglowski for the photo “Tree of Life”, and all participants of the competition received diplomas.
The awards ceremony was followed by the opening of the post-competition exhibition prepared by Mr. Daniel Nalepka, where one could see the photos of all competition participants. The descendants of Brzesko Jews present at the event were particularly moved by this exhibition. Mr. Jakob Reifen saw his grandfather’s tombstone in one of the photos; others looked at the pictures of matzevot and Brzesko tenement houses with traces of mezuzahs – the only material trace of their former Jewish inhabitants…
A conference dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the extermination of Brzesko Jews started at 4 pm. The first speaker was Dr. Roman Gieroń from the Institute of National Remembrance, who presented a historical outline on Aktion “Reinardt” in the Krakow district. Thanks to this historical introduction, the audience could understand the broader context of the Holocaust in Brzesko and vicinity.
Dr. Anna Brzyska focused on the history of the Brzesko Jewish community – the development of this community before World War II and the fate of Brzesko Jews during the Holocaust.
The historian Lucjan Kołodziejski shared about the Jews from his village of Borzęcin, and the next presentation by Weronika Salamon, a student of Brzesko high school, was dedicated to the story of one Jewish girl from Okocim, Rifka Passler.
Karolina Korwin, Hanna Pajor and Karolina Szewczyk from the primary school in Wojakowa, shared about the destiny of Wojakowa Jews during the Holocaust and Righteous Poles who risked their lived to save them. It should be mentioned that the last two presentations were prepared on the basis of the winning papers presented at the 5th edition of the “We know your names” competition. The full texts of these papers can be found on the Association’s website.
The last speaker was Mrs Mala Meyer from Israel, who very emotionally told the story of her late mother, Sara Felsenstein, who, while being a prisoner of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, was saved by Brzesko-born Mala Zimetbaum. It was impossible to remain indifferent to this testimony.
After the conference, the exhibition “Mala Zimetbaum – the Brzesko-born heroine of Auschwitz” was opened. Due to the exhibition, this extraordinary young woman, whose heroism has been described in numerous articles, books, dramas and even an opera, is returning to her hometown. The exhibition was prepared by Anna Brzyska, and the graphic design – by Katarzyna Kostecka; it can be viewed in the Brzesko culture center till October 10.
The second day of the events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the extermination of the Brzesko Jewish community started with the March of Remembrance. It was for the eighth time that we gathered at Kazimierz Wielki Square, from which, in September 1942, the Jews of Brzesko were sent to the Bełżec extermination camp. That’s how these days were recalled by one of the few survivors, Leib Epstein:
“On the second day of Rosh Hashana 1942 – on Sunday afternoon, the Gestapo from Tarnow arrived and the liquidation action began. During the action, I was hiding outside the town and I did not see it myself. All I could hear was the incessant shooting. The action lasted two days, on Monday and Tuesday.
The Poles told me that the course of the “action” was as follows: the Gestapo men chased Jews to the marketplace, made them kneel until they gathered the entire Jewish population. Then they lined them up in fives and chased them to the Słotwina station, which is located two kilometers outside the town. At the station, the train had been already prepared. Brzesko Jews were loaded on the train and taken somewhere. Nobody returned.”
This year – for the first time after the pandemic – 94-year-old Holocaust survivor Dov Landau and descendants of several families of Brzesko Jews – the Teemans, Hartmans, Reifen and Westreichs – came to Brzesko. Many people have joined commemorative events: the consul of the Federal Republic of Germany, Mrs. Dagmar Hillebrand; Deputy Director of the Department of the Institute of National Remembrance in Krakow Dr.Michał Wenklar, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Jewish Religious Community in Krakow Mr. Tadeusz Jakubowicz, Rabbi Eliezer Gurary, Brzesko parish priest Józef Drabik, representatives of the city council and Brzesko poviat authorities, police, cultural institutions and several schools. Scouts handed out cards with the names and photos of Holocaust victims. But first of all many Brzesko residents have joined the March of Remembrance.
Deputy Mayor Dr. Grzegorz Brach greeted everyone on behalf of the city authorities and then Mrs Iwona Leś read the letter addressed to the participants of the March of Remembrance by the Chief Rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich: “…Today’s Brzesko is so dedicated and committed to remembering its Jewish neighbors, remembering how Catholics and Jews built this city together and remembering that it is up to today’s citizens of Brzesko to remember and never forget the Jews of the town. Once again Brzesko is a model for all of Poland on how to maintain and develop communal memory…”
Especially moving was the testimony of Brzesko-born Dov Landau, who as a young boy witnessed the murder of his entire family, was imprisoned in 5 concentration camps, but survived, emigrated to Israel and recreated a family there.
From Kazimierz Wielki Square, we went to the synagogue building at Pushkina st. The March was led by the flagship group from the Brzesko high school.
The sounds of prayers resounded by the plaque commemorating the victims of the Holocaust from Brzesko and vicinity. Father Drabik prayed with the words of one of the psalms; Rabbi Gurary and Dov Landau recited Jewish prayers. We were all together in this memory. Deputy Mayor Grzegorz Brach, Member of the Polish Parliament Józefa Szczurek-Żelazko, Deputy Staroste of the Brzesko Poviat Maciej Podobiński, Poviat Police Commander in Brzesko insp. Bogusław Chmielarz, consul Dagmar Hillebrand, representatives of the World Union of Home Army Soldiers headed by Krzysztof Bigaj, city councilors, Dr. Wenklar, Mr. Jakubowicz, director of the Brzesko Cultural Center Ewelina Stępień, director of the Public Library Karina Legutek, representatives of the Brzesko high school and association “Memory and dialogue. Common History” offered flowers and lit candles to honor the memory of the murdered Brzesko Jews.
The next point of the March of Remembrance was the Jewish cemetery at Czarnowiejska st., where the mass graves of the victims of the Holocaust are located. We walked in silence along the road that the Jews of Brzesko had to walk when taking to the cemetery the bodies of their relatives murdered in the ghetto.
“The remaining Jews were forced to carry the bodies to their cemetery and bury them in mass graves. They performed this task together with their women and children. They dug large pits at the cemetery, gathered the bodies all over the city and carried them to the cemetery in self-made hand-barrows till late at night.
For Brzesko Jews, this duty was yet another tragic experience beyond their strength. Exhausted by fear, pain, suffering, they struggled carrying their dead ones along the side streets towards the cemetery. Surviving elderly men, women and children tried to help each other in their devoted efforts to fulfil this painful duty…” (Władysław Myśliński, 1978)
After laying flowers and lighting candles by the plaque commemorating Brzesko Holocaust victims, the participants of the March of Remembrance walked to the Jewish cemetery at Czarnowiejska st.
Information boards prepared by the Association “Memory and Dialogue. Common history.” (author of the graphic design Damian Styrna, contractors Dariusz Jaworek and Ewa Dagnan-Jaworek; project co-financed by Forum for Dialogue) were unveiled at the cemetery. Brzesko scouts gave to all the participants cards with the map of the cemetery and a short description of individual boards. This project is of particular importance because it brings back the history of the Brzesko Jewish community, its development before the war and extermination in the Holocaust. The cemetery will no longer be a silent place with incomprehensible inscriptions on tombstones. 14 information boards provide an overview of the history of Brzesko Jews, share the stories of people who played important roles in the Jewish community – such as rabbis from the Lipschitz dynasty, teacher Arie Schachter, sofer Eliezer Herbstman, shojchet Juda Kaufman – and in the general community the town (longtime councilor Abe Lieber and mayor Henoch Klapholz); two information boards tell the story of the extermination of Brzesko Jews. The texts on the boards are in 2 languages, Polish and English, and have QR codes redirecting to the Association’s website (www.brzesko-briegel.pl/en), where one can find longer articles devoted to these topics.
Information boards were officially unveiled by the Deputy Mayor Dr. Grzegorz Brach and Brzesko-born Holocaust survivor Dov Landau.
After unveiling the information boards, we moved to the grave of Chaim Jakob (Mundek) and Cyla Strauber, which since 2017 has been marked by a simple wooden matzeva put up by the “Forgotten” foundation. Representative of the Central Rabbinical Commission on Jewish Cemeteries, Mr. Aleksander Schwarz located this grave thanks to the testimony of the late Janina Kaczmarowska, who had been friends with Mundek and Cila before the war and had witnessed their death and burial in the cemetery. Now, 80 years after the spouses had been shot by the Germans, the burial place of Mundek and Cyla has been properly commemorated. It became possible thanks to the cooperation between our Association, the “Forgotten” Foundation and “The Matzevah” Foundation. You can read more about the tragic love and death of Mundek and Cyla here: https://brzesko-briegel.pl/en/2022/04/05/2-mundek-and-cyla-strauber/
Perhaps the most touching part of the commemorative events was the ceremony by the mass graves. Descendants of several Jewish families from Brzesko read the names of their murdered relatives, and then the director of the Brzesko high school, Ryszard Ostrowski, read the names of 57 Jewish students of his school murdered during the war. Together, it was only 97 names out of several thousand Jews from Brzesko and Brzesko poviat murdered during the Holocaust years, but these people – and due to them also other Holocaust victims – ceased to be numbers, became real people. Mr. Landau talked about his beautiful aunt Mirla, who was shot in Brzesko, Jehuda Hartman’s voice trembled when he read the names of 7-year-old Maxi, 5-year-old Bubi and 3-year-old Herschl Zimetbaum murdered in Auschwitz…
Voices of praying Jews resounded over the cemetery, Karolina Kotra played the violin, and we had some quite time to think about all the murdered. May their souls be bound in the bundle of life.
When commemorating the murdered Jewish community of Brzesko, we want to remember not only the tragic death, but also lives of people who lived in Brzesko for several centuries – grew up, went to schools, got married, started families, worked, celebrated, dreamed of a better life for their children and grandchildren. That is why it was already for the fourth time that we organized an evening of Jewish culture this year.
Similar to previous years, Jewish dishes cooked by the members of the Association were waiting for everyone in the building of the Municipal Culture Center. Unfortunately, we do not have photos from this part of the event, but I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the members of our Association. The board includes Anna Brzyska, vice-president Anna Kudła, who has been responsible for organizing many aspects of this year’s events, and treasurer Bogdan Brzyski, who oversees the financial side of our activities. In addition, the Association includes: Damian Styrna – the author of the graphic projects of all our commemorations, Agnieszka Herbert-Styrna, Zuzanna Peters-Musiał, Małgorzata Cuber, Bernadeta Styczeń, Magdalena Sowa, Dorota Pstrąg, Mieszko Musiał, Agnieszka Musiał, Grzegorz Bach and Bogusław Sambor. Most of these people do not need to be introduced to Brzesko residents.
Having tasted various Jewish cookies, everybody moved to the auditorium, where a concert of klezmer music was to begin. Before that happened, however, we had a surprise prepared especially for the descendants of Brzesko Jews. Dov Landau last saw his parents, siblings and grandparents 80 years ago; the descendants of the Teeman, Hartman-Zimetbaum and Reifen families never saw their murdered relatives. And now, thanks to Daniel nalepka’s many hours of work, instead of old faded photos, we saw these people’s live faces on the big screen – smiling, looking at us. These short animations, after many decades of non-existence, as if brought the murdered Brzesko Jews back to life.
And the culmination of this day full of emotions was the concert of the Klezmorim Trio band – singing and playing the viola by Karolina Stasiowska, the accordion by Marcin Wiercioch, the double bass by Piotr Poludniak. Maybe I’ll just say that even a former prisoner of 5 concentration camps, 94-year-old Mr. Landau could not help but dance. (Sorry for the quality of the video made with my mobile phone, but at least I could record not only a piece of the Klezmorim Trio performance, but also Dov Landau dancing.)
Finally, I would like to thank once again all those present at the 80th anniversary of the extermination of Brzesko Jews and to all the organizers of these commemorative events:
- Members of the Associaiton “Memory and dialogue. Common history” – our joint efforts, taking care of all the details, allowed us to create something very special and moving;

However, we've found it easier to create a custom phantomjs folder in the classpath of our own application's war file and place our files there. These files are then found via the classpath resource scanning performed in ServerObjectFactory and extracted from the war for use. Then we provide an explicit resources JSON configuration in the SVGConverter.convert call, which allows us to use a pristine version of highcharts-export-server without any of our modules or customizations added to the highcharts-export-server library.
Because this is so convenient for the client, could this configuration method be added to the documentation and supported in future versions? We'd like to perform more frequent updates to the highcharts-export-server as they become available (previously we'd not updated for a year), so if this could be a standard configuration option that would really help (especially since it's already available and ready in the current version)!

In 1945 he entered the Dominican Order and pursued his studies in theology at the Belgian Dominican studium at La Sarte, obtaining his license in theology (1952) under the direction of Jerome Hamer, writing his thesis (tesina) on Henri de Lubac’s Surnaturel. He pursued doctoral studies at the Pontificia Universit San Tommaso d Aquino (familiarly known as the "Angelicum"), attending the classes of such notables as Garrigou-Lagrange, Paul Philippe and Mario Luigi Ciappi. His dissertation, written under the direction of Louis-Bertrand Gillon, was a study of the medieval theology of hope, entitled “La vertu d’espérance de Pierre Lombard à saint Thomas” (1954).
Upon completion of his studies, Fr. Pinckaers returned to the Dominican Studium at La Sarte to teach moral theology. He was there from 1954-1965. It was there that Fr. Pinckaers undertook his first efforts to renew our understanding of moral theology, foreshadowing the Vatican Council’s call to renewal by several years. The fruits of these labors, which had been published as articles in various places, were subsequently drawn together in his groundbreaking study, Le renouveau de la morale (1964). It was also at La Sarte that he wrote the textual analysis and commentary for Questions 6 through 21 of the Prima Secundae (i.e., Aquinas’ treatise on Human Acts) for the Revue des Jeunes’ bilingual edition of the Summa Theologiae. Fr. Pinckaers refers to his time at La Sarte, both as a student and later as a professor, as the time when he attained the insights that he would subsequently present and develop in his later work. The central insights were (1) the primacy of the Word of God, as a living Word that speaks to every generation and which is higher than any merely human word ; (2) the foundational importance of the fathers of the Church, especially Augustine ; and (3) the lasting value of St. Thomas’ method and insights (cf. S.-Th. Pinckaers, "My Sources," Communio [American Edition] 26 : 913-915).
After the Studium at La Sarte was closed in 1965, Fr. Pinckaers went to the Dominican priory at Liege and engaged in pastoral ministry for the next eight years, years that shaped the pastoral concern expressed in much of his work. Then, in 1975 he was called to fill the French language chair in fundamental moral theology at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, where he taught for the next twenty-five years. As emeritus professor he remained in Fribourg, in residence at the international Dominican priory of St. Albert the Great (the “Albertinum”), until his death on 7 April 2008. He was eighty-two.
His most well-known work in English is The Sources of Christian Ethics (1995), which has been well-received by a surprisingly varied cross-section of the Church in America. Other works in English include Morality : the Catholic View (2001), The Pursuit of Happiness : Living the Beatitudes (1998), and the collection of his essays, The Pinckaers Reader : Renewing Thomistic Moral Theology (2005). See also the essay, “The Sources of the Ethics of St. Thomas Aquinas,” in The Ethics of Aquinas (2002). Among his other works are La faim de l’Evangile (1977) ; La justice évangélique (1986) ; Ce qu’on ne peut jamais faire. La question des actes intrinsèquement mauvais : Histoire et discussion (1986) ; La Prière chrétienne (1989) ; L’Evangile et la morale (1991) ; La morale catholique (1991) ; and La vie selon L’Esprit : Essai de théologie spirituelle selon saint Paul et saint Thomas d’Aquin (1996). In 2001, he wrote a new textual analysis and commentary for the first five questions of the Prima Secundae (i.e., Aquinas’ treatise on happiness) for the second edition of the Revue des Jeunes’ bilingual edition of the Summa Theologiae (Traduction et commentaire du traité de la béatitude [Ia-IIae, qq. 1-5]). After a period of inactivity following a heart attack, Fr. Pinckaers published, A la découverte de Dieu dans les Confessions (2002), the first of a two volume study of St. Augustine whose general title is : En promenade avec saint Augustin. He also published Plaidoyer pour la vertu (2007), which was one of three works to receive an honorable mention as runners up for the Grand Prix catholique de littérature for 2007. In the year before his death, Fr. Pinckaers prepared several texts for publication, among them Passions et vertu (2009).
Servais Pinckaers served on several Roman commissions, including the Commission that wrote the Catechism of the Catholic Church, contributing to the moral section, and the preparatory commissions for the encyclical Veritatis Splendor. From 1992 until 1997, he was a member of the International Theological Commission. | library |

A musket ball shattered his right shoulder, and despite his injury and service, the postwar Texas government ordered him and all other free Blacks to leave.
Then, in a series of conflicting legislative moves, things got confusing. Could he stay, or did he have to go?
McCulloch was born in 1810 in South Carolina. His father was white, and his mother was Black, but no other records of her status exist. McCulloch Sr. moved his son and three daughters, all considered free, to Texas, where they settled near the Gulf Coast in what is now Jackson County in May 1835.
The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the revolution, coming one week after the brief skirmish known as the Battle of Gonzales and just four days after McCulloch joined the Texian army as a private with the 50-man Matagorda Volunteer Company. When the force attacked a Mexican army camp, McCulloch was first to enter the fort and the lone soldier wounded. The injury left his shoulder permanently disabled.
After the war McCulloch’s residence status quickly began to twist and turn. Initially, the republic’s constitution, adopted in September 1836, prohibited citizenship for “Africans and the descendants of Africans and Indians” and required all free Blacks to apply to the Congress for permanent residence.
McCulloch made the required application for himself and his sisters in 1837, recounting his military service and stating that he had been “deprived of the privileges of citizenship by reason of an unfortunate admixture of African blood.”
On June 5, 1837, the republic passed a law that permitted free Blacks to keep their residency if they had been living in Texas before the Republic’s Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836.
With his petition still pending, McCulloch saw his residency status further imperiled on February 5, 1840. That’s when an act was passed to prohibit the immigration of free Blacks and demand that all free Black residents vacate the republic within two years or be sold into slavery.
McCulloch filed a successful second petition, likely because of the Ashworth Act, passed December 12, 1840. This legislation provided that the Ashworth families, Black relatives in Jefferson County, could remain in Texas after influential whites intervened.
As a disabled veteran, McCulloch was eligible for a land grant and was awarded one league (4,428 acres) of land, two-thirds of which he chose to ranch and farm near Von Ormy.
Despite his land and his disability, McCulloch soldiered again, fighting in the battle of Plum Creek in 1840 against Comanches and serving as a spy during the Mexican invasion of San Antonio in 1842. He died in Von Ormy on November 2, 1893.

Do you love art? Do you love books? Do you love art books? I have an obsession and hoarding instinct when it comes to art books. That photo history book from a class 20 years ago? I still have it sitting in my studio even though I haven’t picked it up in years.
Every time I visit a museum or a gallery the first thing I instinctively do is gravitate towards the bookstore. It doesn’t matter that I can actually see a 30×30 foot Richard Serra sculpture across the room. Instead of focusing on the actual art I came to see my first thought is LOOK! THERE ARE BOOKS RIGHT OVER THERE ABOUT RICHARD SERRA!
I am pretty convinced this stems from my childhood where I didn’t have much access to galleries or museums, so I would disappear into the “art and photography” section of the chain book store at the mall. Not the most diverse selection of works (About 80% Ansel Adams and Georgia O’Keeffe),but better than nothing. If I couldn’t see original work at least I could explore a facsimile of it. If I was lucky, the book might actually have answers about the process and history of the artist. I could immediately connect a face and a biography to the pieces I was interested in.
We live in a time where artists are no longer forced to sift through commercial curation and William Wegman calendars in order to discover important artists and art. Why? Because a select number of authoritative, globally recognized cultural institutions have been generous enough to share their resources. If you are an artist or an educator you should be taking advantage of this as much as possible. The following is a brief list of free online libraries that can get you started. The four arts organizations listed provide access to over 2,000 substantive and authoritative art books (Only a few of which are about Ansel Adams or Georgia O’Keefe). Bookmark these, use them consistently, and share them with your students and friends.
Online Libraries Listed in Order of Recommendation
The Guggenheim museum has made over 200 of their published books accessible and downloadable for free in collaboration with the Internet Archive. The quality and quantity are fantastic and includes artists ranging from Kandinsky to Holzer. This is an incredibly valuable archive and if you only explore one today it should be this one.
Starter Suggestion: Gerhard Richter : Eight Gray
The description from their website understates the impressiveness of this site. “Five decades of Met publications on art history, available to read, download, and/or search for free”. Take advantage of the “additional resources” section of each title. It allows readers to explore the Met’s image archive directly while the “related titles” allows for a substantive exploration of subject matter and author.
Starter Suggestion: All the Mighty World: The Photographs of Roger Fenton, 1852–1860
The Getty Virtual Library contains a large quantity of select titles from the archive of Getty Publications. The selection of over 250 backlist titles is primarily focused on art history topics as well as conservation and digital archiving.
Starter Suggestion: Courbet and the Modern Landscape
LACMA’s reading room is a collaborative project with the Internet Archive that contains a growing collection of archived art books and exhibition brochures. The search functionality is a little limited, but the collection has quite a few fascinating pieces available in PDF and EPUB formats. The brochures are particularly interesting both as an introduction to certain artists and as design objects.
Starter Suggestion: Abdulnasser Gharem: Pause
Don’t limit yourself to simply reading from online libraries. Use them in ways that you would never use that twenty pound full color signed monograph you picked up at the Guggenheim for $250.
- Download 20 books on contemporary art and combine them into one happy-fun-super-mega art history book.
- Download The Academy of the Sword: Illustrated Fencing Books 1500–1800 (or any other book) and combine the illustrations into a short comic using famous quotes.
- Pick a collection or a single book and have your students find five images (any artist, any time, any style) of a woman, or a building, or war, or red. Then have them create a piece that combines aesthetic and subject elements of each image.
- Find 25 color images by Wassily Kandinsky. Print them out as large as you can and stack them on top of one another. Use a paper cutter to slice the stack at least 5 times vertically and 5 times horizontally (more if you are sadistic). Throw the pieces into the air and have your students try and recreate each original piece. Better yet, have them create their own work using the pieces.
Have fun, and if you ever find yourself in need of additional creative and artistic resource suggestions please don’t hesitate to join our consistently growing creative community at artnerdsociety.com. Our ever expanding Recommends section is a curated collection of books, videos, image archives, and educational resources that any visual creative will find useful and inspiring.

Her brother, Heinz, was three years older and was a reader, musician, and painter. As a six year old, he would read out books and tell Eva the stories. At school, Eva noted that although jews and catholics were allowed to be friends, they were separated during their respective religion classes. Fast forward a few years to 1938, and Nazi Germany annexed Austria. Nine year old Eva was shocked by the sudden display of Swastikas on the streets by her friends. She also noted that her best friend’s mother(who was catholic) slammed a door in her face one day and told her to never come back to their house. Eva’s father, Erich decided to move his family to Belgium at this time. Since they were not allowed any furniture, they bought a pre-furnished house in Brussels. The furniture included a piano and this naturally delighted Heinz. After two great years in Belgium, the family was forced to emigrate to Amsterdam. This is where eleven year old Eva met an eleven year old Anne Frank, who came up to meet Eva with a sweet hello. Eva and Anne would spend time together every day. Anne hated Math, but really enjoyed talking. She would often be made to write “I will not talk in class” a 100 times after class. In Eva’s mind, Anne was far more mature than she was. Being very interested in boys, Anne wanted to go to Eva’s house to meet Heinz. Sadly, Heinz was not interested in a girl his sister’s age.
1940-42 were good years for Eva. Although they were restrictive(Jews had to go to different shops, travel separately), there was not any significant danger. In 1942, both Heinz and Margot(Anne’s elder sister) were summoned to Germany to work. Not trusting this summoning, both Erich and Otto Frank(Anne’s father) took their families into hiding. Sadly, Erich could not find a place for the family of four, so Heinz went with his father, and Eva went with her mother. Eva was a ‘sporty girl’, and hence had a tough time in hiding sitting in the same place. Erich and Heinz had to move around as they couldn’t keep up with the rent, but eventually found a place near Eva and Elfriede(Eva’s mother). On Eva’s 15th birthday, in the May of 1944, as the entire family had met up to celebrate, Nazi soldiers burst into the house and captured the family. Eva was interrogated and brutally beaten by the Nazi soldiers. However, she was in much too much shock to say anything.
The family eventually was sent to Auschwitz by train. Eva recalls that this train journey was the last time her family was together. On reaching the camp they immediately were separated, Eva and her mother were separated from her father and brother. They were made to strip naked, shaved, and given striped clothes with shoes and a number. Eva couldnt believe how cruelly the Nazi soldiers would mistreat the women without reason. Eva describes many miracles leading to her surviving, including how running into an old friend saved her from dying from typhus. She had to live in sub human conditions for almost six months before the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops. She did meet her father a couple of times before the liberation. For a while, she believed her mother to be dead, but she later learnt her mother had escaped the gas chamber miraculously.
Eva would go on to learn of the death of her brother and father after liberation, which led her to spiral into depression for many years to come. Eventually, she would meet her husband for 63 years, Zvi Schloss in London. Her mother and Otto Frank fell in love and got married in 1953. Eva recalls the first time she saw Anne’s diary. Otto brought the diary to show to Eva and Elfriede and would burst into tears on reading it. He took three weeks to read it, and eventually published a first hand account of the most horrific genocide of all time, from the perspective of precocious teenage girl.
Eva now has three children and five grandchildren. She leaves audiences shocked by relating the atrocities endured by her family during the Holocaust and inspires them with her faith in humanity. She is not just a survivor, but also a victor of the Holocaust. | library |

Treadstone 71 recently reviewed the paper "Information Operations in the Russia-Ukraine War – 24 January 2023" by
Dr. Ahmed Daifullah Algarni, Vice President of the International Institute for Iranian Studies (Rasanah)
The title assumes a neutral position to the war when the war was clearly a Russian invasion of a sovereign nation. The title sets the stage for the rest of the paper.
The text attempts to create a comprehensive overview of information warfare tactics and objectives, mainly focused on Russia's actions in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war. The paper touches on various components of information warfare, including psychological operations, media manipulation, and disinformation campaigns.
- Russian Involvement in Information Warfare: The text's claim that Russia has been deeply involved in information warfare for decades, returning to the Soviet era, is accurate. Russian tactics often include "reflexive control," aimed at influencing adversaries' decision-making processes.
- Operation Infektion: The mention of Operation "Secondary Infektion" and the disinformation campaign during the Cold War surrounding HIV/AIDS being a bioweapon is historically verified and well-documented.
- Ongoing Info-War Campaigns: The text claims that between 2014 and 2018, Russia ran disinformation operations targeting Western countries, particularly Ukraine. The listing is consistent with reports from various intelligence agencies and cybersecurity firms.
- Objectives of Russian Information Warfare: The objectives listed, such as dampening Ukrainian morale and sowing discord among Western allies, are consistent with assessments from international analysts. | library |

This article has been republished from The Conversation under Creative Commons licence CC BY-ND 4.0. It was originally published under the title New research shows ancestral Māori adapted quickly in the face of rapid climate change and is written by Magdalena Bunbury and Dr Fiona Petchey.
When the ancestors of Māori made landfall in Aotearoa some 750 years ago, it marked the final stop of the greatest expansion of human migration in prehistory.
Much of their story – exactly when they arrived and where they initially settled, how quickly the population grew, and how they sustained themselves and adapted during rapidly changing climate conditions – has remained elusive until now.
Our research traces the first 250 years of settlement, including changes in resource availability and population growth. It provides a more precise timeline for arrival and settlement, beginning as early as 1250–1270.
We also demonstrate for the first time a difference in the age of settlements in the North and South islands. The research shows that Māori adapted quickly to their new environment and again during later periods when temperature and rainfall changed significantly.
A more precise timeline of arrival
People travelled from tropical islands in East Polynesia at a time when a warm climate facilitated travel across the world’s largest ocean.
Researchers have long debated the exact timing of their first settlement, with estimates varying between the 12th and 14th centuries, depending on the material selected for radiocarbon dating.
We show that early settlers reached the North Island first, between 1250 and 1270, a decade before the South Island became more popular.
At the time of settlement, the south had colonies of the large flightless moa. The early settlers rapidly adapted to this temperate climate, living on a diet of moa, seafood and vegetables grown in their garden plots.
But then the Little Ice Age interfered with this lifestyle. After 1350, conditions became significantly colder in the south. By around 1400–1420, moa hunting became uneconomic and put these fledgling communities under immense pressure. Once again, people had to adapt quickly.
Models developed from radiocarbon dates and the distribution of archaeological sites indicate the population shifted back to the north and grew between 1350 and 1450. In the north, soils were ideal for agriculture and temperatures were warmer.
New scientific approach
Estimates of arrival and settlement in earlier studies and models vary depending on the material they used. For example, radiocarbon dates of the Pacific rat (Rattus exulans or kiore) tell a story about the spread of rats following the introduction by Māori ancestors. This study documents an explosion in the rat population but not information on the earliest human settlement date.
Likewise, radiocarbon dates on moa eggshell and bone tell us about the timing of moa-hunting activities but little about activities elsewhere.
This piecemeal approach has blurred the settlement chronology and contributed to the notion of a ‘mass migration’ event. These studies also ignored dates on marine materials, one of the most commonly dated sample types.
In a previous study, we demonstrated that dates of midden shells could increase the accuracy of models if we had a better understanding of how radiocarbon in the ocean changed over time.
The development of a regional marine calibration curve that mapped this change allowed us to include more than 800 shell radiocarbon dates in the current study. This curve doubled the number of dates available for analysis.
It was also necessary to develop a new approach to modelling that combined terrestrial and marine radiocarbon data sets. The increased precision and accuracy of these new models enabled us to draw links between the number and distribution of archaeological sites, climate, resources and deforestation trends.
Why our results are more precise
We scoured journal papers and books to assemble more than 2,250 dates, the largest radiocarbon data set from any island context. We carefully evaluated the archaeological context and scientific reliability of each date and removed almost 700 problematic dates before modelling began.
Differences between the terrestrial and marine calibration curves used to convert radiocarbon measurements into calendar ages enabled us to refine ‘wiggles’ that result in multiple ranges for some early settlement events.
This research goes only a small way to providing a time baseline for understanding the complexity of ancestral Māori society. Future work aims to achieve the precision needed to establish more links between people, climate and time.
Read how whakataukī can give us insight into the moa’s conservation and extinction in Dead as the moa: oral traditions show that early Māori recognised extinction.
Learn about ‘wiggle matching’ and the complexities of radiocarbon dating through research into the volcanic eruption that created Lake Taupō in Explosive lies – how volcanoes can lie about their age, and what it means for us.
This interactive explores the C-14 carbon dating process.
Learn more about other technologies that are contributing to our knowledge of human evolution in Evolutionary research – advancing our understanding of us and techniques for refining samples for AMS dating of palaeolithic bones and other artefacts.
In 2008 scientists published research on how they used radiocarbon dating on old rat bones and seeds to establish their age.
The activity Investigating middens helps students understand what ancient middens can tell us about past lives and what discarded rubbish can tell us indirectly about the environment. You could adapt the extension idea so students also identify the organic rubbish that would survive into the future and could be dated by C-14 methods.
The activity Radioactive decay models the radioactive decay process for carbon-14 by flipping coins. It features the randomness and exponential nature of radioactive decay.

One of which I was thoroughly surprised by. I bought Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society two years ago and started reading it but didn't get past the first few pages and moved onto another book. I just now got back to it and I am so glad that I did.
The first few letters were boring and I found reading them tedious. But I powered through and didn't give up on it like I did two years ago. Then slowly the letters started to have more and more substance and built off of one another. By page 40 or 50 I couldn't put it down; I just had to now what was going to happen next.
The main character is Juliet. An author and columnist that shot to fame during WWII for bringing news of the war to England in weekly columns. The news during this time was heavy and those living in London especially were in a constant state of fear ;so, Juliet did the best she could to write on the news but doing so in a manner that still was able to lift their spirits. Her columns were very popular and after the war were published into a book.
One day through what could only be fate Juliet received a letter from a man on Guernsey Island. (Guernsey is a channel island between France and England that was occupied during the war.) This man had ended up with a book by Charles Lamb that had belonged to her and was writing to let her know how much that book had meant to him during the war. This correspondence lead to her corresponding with him and his friends on Guernsey. This correspondence led to a whirlwind of exciting discoveries and adventures and stories both of the Occupation and after.
While reading I became involved with these characters and envisioned them on Guernsey. I feel as though I know Guernsey through this book, thanks to the vivid detail and research done by the author. I cant imagine many people after reading this book would not feel the same way. This book was full of imagination and joy all while dealing with the heavy topic of WWII and the Nazi Occupation. More than anything this book left me with a sense of hope that will stay with me long after the book has faded. | library |

Grace in the 50's
By February of 1958 the group began meeting at the D & D Missionary Homes under the direction of Mr. Thomas Waldecker. They looked carefully to find an effective area for ministry in Pinellas County and, by November, they settled on the Skyview Development in the Pinellas Park region. On the 13th of that month Rev. Thomas Waldecker was ordained to serve as the founding pastor.
In December Rev. Jay E. Adams, General Secretary of National Missions visited them to help select a location for building a place of worship, and to organize officially into a mission church.
At a meeting in the home of Miss Elizabeth Shoemaker the new congregation met to constitute itself officially and to adopt the name Grace Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Adams helped them select a property on 58th Street where 110th Avenue North intersected. It was planned at that time that US 19 would likely use that as the main North-South road connecting St. Petersburg with Clearwater. Four lots were purchased with an option on a fifth. A loan was received from National Missions in the amount of $1,300 to purchase the four lots. The first public baptisms took place on December 28th placing the sign of the covenant upon four believers.
1959 began with the church's first Lord's Supper being served on the 4th of January. By March, 18 charter members were officially received. In May the church voted to purchase the remaining fifth lot bringing the total acreage to 1.5.
That December the plans were finalized to move their meeting location to the Skyview Recreation Building and a new pulpit was custom built and donated by Mr. and Mrs. Payerl. That pulpit is kept today in the library of the church in memory of those historic early days. The first church piano was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Allen.
Grace in the '60's
In 1961 a farewell party was held for Walter and Mary Cross who were returning for service in Chile. They had served there from 1949 to 1956. While in the states they had been ministering to migrant workers here in Florida.
A congregation meeting was held on January 15th, 1964 electing the church's first elders: James Barbee and Clyde Schrum. Elder Schrum was elected as the first Clerk of Session. At that same meeting the church voted to be a part of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church as the organization of American Presbyterian denominations were going through changes. In 1965 that group completed its merger with the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America General Synod to form the Reformed Presbyterian Church Evangelical Synod.
In January 1966 Walter Scott, James McGee and James Fagan were elected to become the church's first deacons.
In God's providence Pinellas County decided to route US-19 toward the Southeast to connect with 34th Street rather than using the 58th Street corridor. This left the church property in a somewhat isolated and quiet neighborhood.
Grace in the 70's
When Rev. Taylor left, the pulpit was filled by Mr. Bob Burridge who had just graduated from Seminary. While he taught full time at Skycrest Christian School, the church searched for its next pastor. By March of 1964 Rev. George Birchler was installed to lead the congregation. The layout of the church interior was changed and remodeled into its present configuration to create a better worship area and more classroom space.
Grace in the 80's
In 1985 the sanctuary seating was changed from wooden pews to the present chairs to allow for an increased number of worshippers. The session established three committees in 1986 to help share the increasing responsibilities of ministry. The committees were charged with the work of Christian Education, Youth and Activities, and Missions and Evangelism. In June of 1986 Pastor Easterling left to take another charge and Mr. Bob Burridge, who was now a ruling elder and candidate for the ministry under the Central Florida Presbytery, again became the stated supply preacher. During this time the church began recording its morning sermons, a computer was added for the pastor's use and a maintenance shed was added to the property.
In June of 1987 Pastor Burridge was ordained and installed as the church's fifth pastor. The first copy machine was purchased and an in-house printing ministry was started to produce the bulletins and various booklets authored by the pastor for use by the congregation. A Worship committee was established to help the pastor with bulletin preparations and to help with worship music.
In 1988 the church held a 30th anniversary dinner to commemorate its first three decades. Founding Pastor Tom Waldecker spoke and Pinellas Park Mayor Cecil Bradbury presented the church with a certificate of commemoration from the city.
In the last years of the 80's the church offered some special programs which included; special speaker Dr. John Skilton, seminars in education for Sunday School workers, the showing of the Francis Schaeffer film series How Shall We Then Live?, and some Moody Science films. Pastor Burridge was the guest of Dr. James Kennedy on his radio program to discuss his booklet The Truth About Christmas. That program has been rebroadcast nationally a number of times seasonally.
Grace in the 90's
This same year Central Florida Presbytery divided and the Southwest Florida Presbytery was formed. Pastor Burridge was elected to serve as the first year's moderator for 1991. He has since served two other one-year terms as moderator and between moderatorships served several terms as chairman of the Minister and His Work committee which advises churches with pastoral matters and examines all pastors entering our presbytery.
In 1991 Pastor Soeng Je Kim was called as Assistant Pastor to serve a Korean mission work that began meeting in the Grace Presbyterian facilities. That work was able to reach several Koran families before Pastor Kim was recalled to Korea due to immigration problems.
In the 90's the church family settled into having a monthly church fellowship time organized primarily by the Women In the Church (WIC). They also worked very closely with the local Pregnancy Center taking part in its fund raising activities, volunteering at the center and having the pastor serve on the board of directors over which he served a term as chairman of the board.
In 1992 the fellowship area was remodeled and later carpeted. A new sign was placed on the property with a flower box to improve the church's public presentation.
In the mid 90's Dr. Skilton was again invited to speak and Dr. Jay E. Adams presented a question and answer time about Christian counseling. An operations handbook was produced by the session to help direct its work toward the primary goals previously adopted. A playground was added for the children and the kitchen and nursery areas were remodeled.
The mid 90's also saw the birth of The Genevan Institute for Reformed Studies. It began with classes on Wednesday nights to provide a study showing the biblical foundations for the church's convictions. It was oriented for those interested in a more in-depth study than the regular worship services and Sunday School classes are able to offer. The study was arranged around the contents of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
In these latter years of the 90's, as the fourth decade of Grace Presbyterian drew to a close, the church suffered another setback as the economy of Pinellas County changed and several leading families were transferred out of the area due to job transfers and promotions. Again the session had to adjust the ministries to continue to provide all that God calls a church to do for its communing families. Hard challenges have always brought deeper commitments and have in many ways expanded the outreach of the church, though sometimes in ways not expected.
A Presbyterian Men's Training Program was begun by the pastor which continues to be used in preparing men for leadership in the home, church and community. It has been used as part of a training program for new groups of church leaders.
The Genevan Institute has drawn some new members into the fellowship of Grace, brought in several winter visitors, and has helped prepare some men for the ministry. There are now students attending who are candidates for the ministry and licentiates in the Southwest Florida Presbytery.
The Institute outreach became world wide with the introduction of a website at www.girs.com which continually draws hundreds of visitors from all over the world. It distributes articles on biblical issues into places where little true Christian education is available. Through this ministry, several of the pastor's booklets, prepared for this congregation in the past, are being distributed and used in churches all around the world. A chat channel was established on the DALnet system which is open for fellowship on a continual basis. The chat channel is called #Calvin'sCorner. It is attended on Sunday nights for live internet fellowship and Bible discussion.
Grace in the Years to Come
Pray for the families that make up Grace Presbyterian Church. The children are the future of this work. Some who are parents in the congregation now were once the children of the church. God's grace has brought this work to this point in time and has placed it where it can shine brightly. But God has always worked by means of the prayers of his saints who love him dearly and who work sacrificially to serve their King according to the ways in his Sacred Word.
Grace is a wonderful name for a church. As the hymn writer
John Newton wrote in 1779,
To be sure -- this has been a work of God's Amazing Grace!
Author's note: This history was reconstructed from what information was available in the church files. It is mostly taken from session records, newspaper clippings, denominational magazine notices, collections of church news letters and bulletins. Some periods were hard to fill in. This does not mean that little was done during those times. It just reflects what was placed in the records available to this author. | library |

Dr. Andrej Mićović, Faculty of Hotel Management and Tourism in Vrnjačka Banja, University of Kragujevac
Reviewer: Snežana Miladinović, Ph.D., Full-time Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Montenegro
The textbook Tourism Law, written in Serbian by Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić and Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović, is one of a number of texts produced by the Faculty of Hotel Management and Tourism in Vrnjačka Banja, University of Kragujevac, Serbia. It was published in late 2016.
The book is published within the framework of the TEMPUS Project „Modernization and Harmonization of Tourism Study Programmes in Serbia“, No. 544543-TEMPUS-1-2013-1-RS-TEMPUS-JPCR.
The textbook provides a thorough legal analysis of both tourism and hospitality status and contract rules, which are currently in force at the national and EU level, by taking into account respective doctrinal views. It complies with the highest scientific and pedagogical standards.
The book is primarily designed for students who are enrolled at different type of faculties and study programs (tourism and hospitality, law, economy, management), but it is also a valuable material for legal practitioners and tourism and hospitality operators.
In short, this text is highly recommendable and will also certainly appeal to the professional and scientific public.
It consists of 290 pages and is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to the legal status and business activities of tourism and hospitality operators. The second part deals with tourism and hospitality contracts. In addition, there is also an Introduction at the very beginning of the book. The Introduction, the first part and timeshare contract from the second part, are written by Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović. Other tourism related contracts from the second part are written by Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić. The textbook contains a foreword, abbreviations, bibliography, the list of electronic sources and index page.
The Introduction provides a definition of tourism law and its subject, historical overview of the development of tourism and tourism law, as well as a classification of tourism-related legal sources. From the very beginning, the authors take the reader on a journey through the evolution of tourism and hospitality related rules, from the earliest ages to modern times. Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović underlined the importance of travel for the emergence of rudimentary forms of travel and tourism services, which gradually evolved into their current form.
The first part of the book, titled Status Tourism Law, is divided into five chapters.
The first chapter deals with terms and concepts used in the tourism industry and standards for providing services in tourism, particularly standards for the categorization of accommodation, hunting and nautical facilities.
In the second chapter, Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović, analyzes the legal form and the legal status of tourism service providers, and points out different types of providers of tourist activities. Issues related to the establishment, organization and management of tourist area, organizations for tourism promotion, travel agencies, tourist guides and accommodation service providers, are explained in detail.
The third chapter is devoted to the conceptual definition and types of tourism and hospitality business activities. The text of this chapter is divided into five subchapters. The first subchapter is devoted to an introductory discussion on tourism and hospitality activities and their classification. In the second, the author discusses in detail tourism-related activities which include provision of travel agency services, professional services in tourism (services of tourist guides, local tourist guides, tourist escorts, tourist animators and representatives at tourist destinations), special adventure and sports and recreation tourism services and car rental services. The subject of the third subchapter are hospitality business activities, followed by nautical activities in the fourth subchapter and hunting tourism-related activities in the fifth.
The fourth chapter of the first part covers the registration of tourism and hospitality entities and contains the basic principles, the registration processes, the content of the tourism registry and registration documentation.
Finally, the fifth chapter deals with controls over the business activities of tourism and hospitality entities and also with tourism-related taxes and penalties.
The second part of the book, titled Tourism and Hospitality Contracts, is divided into seven chapters.
Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić conducts a legal analysis of the package travel contracts, travel agency contracts, allotment contracts , hospitality services contracts, agency contracts on hospitality services, food and drink service contracts, while Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović contributes to this part with a legal analysis of the timeshare contract.
The first chapter of the second part of the book is devoted to the package travel contract. After definiting this contract, the author gives an overview of the respective national rules and makes reference to the content, role and importance of Directive 90/314 EEC and its eventual successor Directive 2015/2302/EU. The obligations of the organiser and traveller and related specific rights are analized in detail. Special attention is paid to changes in the law in the package travel contract before the start of the package and to the liability of the organiser as well.
The second chapter focuses on the intermediary travel contract. Taking into account national and EU legislation, the author analyses the definition and characteristics of the contract, rights and obligations of the contract parties, form of the contract, as well as the liability of travel intermediaries.
Allotment contract is the subject of legal analysis in the third chapter. Prof. Dr. Vujisic thoroughly analyses this contract, its content, types and effects.
The fourth chapter deals with the hospitality services contract, its definition, basic characteristics, obligations of the hospitality service provider and guest, termination of the contract.
The main focus of the fifth chapter is on agency contracts on hospitality services, where the author describes its concept, types, characteristics, content, conclusion and termination of contract, taking into account national and comparative law rules.
Food and drink service contracts are the main subject of the sixth chapter of part two, in particular, the definition of the contract, its conclusion, obligations of the contract parties.
The seventh chapter is dedicated to the timeshare contract, which is thoroughly analyzed through national and comparative law perspectives and respective rules at the EU level. The analysis covers the legal forms of time-sharing, legal mechanisms for the protection of consumer rights, rights and obligations of the contracting parties and termination of contract. The central part of the analysis is dedicated to the legal nature of the timeshare contract.
Overall, the content of this book will certainly be useful for both theory and practice, as it is hard to find such a comprehensive, current and relevant legal material on this topic in Serbia and in the neighbouring countries. The countries of the former Yugoslavia would certainly be interested in this book as they not only share a common legal background and similar problems in practice, but also a common language. Furthermore, they are on the way to sharing a future within the EU (Slovenia and Croatia are already members). This book, therefore, has great practical value in collectting Serbian tourism law rules in the one place, and in facilitating comparative legal analysis in the post Yugoslavian context. It will facilitate identifying similarities and differences between the tourism law rules of the relevant countries, and should make it easier to achieved harmonization of these rules with the acquis communautaire. In addition, the book has significant scientific value, since it, inter alia, contains rules from the Serbian Draft Civil Code and new Package Travel Directive 2015/2302. The first set of rules are yet to be adopted in their final form (which allows the Serbian legislator to complement the Draft Civil Code with the respective package travel rules adopted at EU level) and the latter ones are currently in the process of transposition in the Member States.
In order to further enrich the text, the authors could pro futuro consider including EU passenger’s rights regulations which would cover different means of transport (air, bus, rail, ship). These rules are particularly important for the tourists who buy single services outside of the package. Nevertheless, this book is an excellent legal text which will be useful for both lawyers and non-lawyers and which will also provide students with necessary legal knowledge on current tourism and hospitality rules in Serbia and at EU level.
For all the aforementioned reasons, this book is definitely worth reading. Among other things, it shows that knowlegde and travel go along together. Inexhaustible is the human need for knowledge. Even Aristotle in his Metaphysics noted that “all men are by their nature constantly seeking for knowledge,” which explaines “the importance given to observation, especially visual one“. Eyesight more than any other sence enables cognition. The process of acquiring theoretical knowledge is easier if it is underpinned by the practical one. Journeys and travel have great importance precisely because they helps us learn about new areas, countries, nations, cultures, customs. As Henry Miller once wrote: “Our destination is never a place, but a new way of looking at things.” The man, as being of knowledge, travels (regardeless on the particular motive) with one ultimate aim – to look at things and himself among them in a new way.
Thanks to the books co-authors, Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić and Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović, readers are given the opportunity to “travel“ through the legal “areas” of Tourism Law. Reviewer’s advice is that you should not miss the opportunity to take this inspiring journey.According to the allotment contract (contract for accommodation/catering capacities), the hotel-keeper undertakes the duty to provide a certain number of beds or capacity to the travel agency, to provide services to the travel agency’s guests, and pay a certain commission to the travel agency. In exchange, the travel agency undertakes to make the bookings or notify the hotel-keeper about the impossibility of complying with the contractual terms and to pay the cost of services, if the travel agency used the contracted accommodation. An allotment contract is actually a type of the agency hotel-keeper’s contract related to the booking of specific capacity (certain number of beds or accommodation units) and the ability or inability to cancel the contract. There are two types of allotment contract in comparative law: 1) allotment contract with the (travel agency’s) right of unilateral withdrawal from the contract (the real allotment contract), and 2) allotment contract with the guarantee charge (the allotment contract ”full for empty”). In comparative law, allotment contract as a rule is not regulated in national laws, or in European or international regulations. It is mostly part of customary law or business practices, where it is also subject to two ‘soft law’ codifications of business practices: 1) European ECTAA-HOTREC Code and 2) International IH&RA-UFTAA Code. | library |

In 1813, households are preparing for the social season of arranging matches for marriage. Among the debutantes presented to the queen are the three Featherington sisters and the eldest Bridgerton daughter Daphne, whom Queen Charlotte praises highly, giving her an edge over the other young ladies. A new scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown circulates London, promoting Daphne as the season’s “Incomparable”. A distant cousin of Lord Featherington, Miss Marina Thompson, comes to stay for the season under the supervision of Lady Featherington.
Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, returns to London to see to the affairs of his late father. Simon’s confidante, the indomitable Lady Danbury, pressures him into joining the season. Viscount Anthony Bridgerton deems all suitors unsuitable for his sister Daphne. Anthony’s off-putting behavior drives away all potential suitors except the detestable Lord Berbrooke. Miss Thompson picks up the slack, to the delight of Lady Whistledown and the anger of the queen. Lady Danbury and Lady Bridgerton conspire to bring Simon and Daphne together. Anthony breaks up with his mistress, Siena Rosso. Lady Featherington deduces that Miss Thompson is pregnant. Simon and Daphne agree to pretend to court, so that Daphne will enjoy the attentions of suitors eager to steal her away from a duke while Simon will have respite from ambitious young ladies and their mothers.
Flashbacks reveal Simon’s tragic childhood. After his mother died in childbirth, Simon was left under the control of his cruel father, who refused to accept that his only son was less than perfect. | library |

A festive Cinco de Mayo celebration.
A Mexican hairless cat with a prophecy.
A murder most foul amid the fiesta.
As the small town of Tablerock, Texas prepares for its annual Cinco de Mayo festival, Ellie and Evie Rockwell were counting on a day filled with tacos, perhaps a pinata or two, and a fiesta of feline fun at Silver Circle Cat Rescue. Instead, they’re served a stiff dose of reality when the town’s eccentric tarot card reader Luna Espinoza is found face-down in her award-winning margarita mix.
What’s more, Silver Circle’s newest feline resident, the reader’s mysterious Mexican hairless cat named Mystico, has some chilling messages from Luna in the great beyond—and the tarot reader insists her murder won’t be the last.
As Cinco de Mayo turns from a celebration into a murder investigation, Ellie and Evie must use their unique ability to communicate with the cats of Silver Circle to unravel the mystery. But with so many potential suspects who wanted the tarot reader out of the picture, they’ll need more than a deck of cards to identify the killer.
Can Ellie and Evie reveal the murderer before they strike again? Or will the killer’s future remain hidden in the cards? | library |

by Abbie Hilton.
“A Cat Prince Distinguishes Himself" - Dave Robison, the new narrator for this version has a great, smoky voice. The perfect tone for the topic. The story gives great insight into a popular and pivotal character in Hilton’s Panamindora story. Learning about the motives and backgrounds of protagonists is one of my favorite things in epics, and Abbie is great at doing that.
"On the Edge" - I enjoy listening to Abbie’s voice, she has a great tone, usually very calm, but she can convey tension and emotion very easily as well. This story has more Panamindora back story for some of the secondary characters, and gives great insight into the lives of the wolflings. Sevn’s struggle with how his life is changing is very interesting and engaging.
"Distraction" - Another great narrator, Ryan Stevenson, gives this Panamindora backstory perfect tension. Even if the listener doesn't like the main character, due to knowledge of the main trilogy, the story is written so that the listener can relate and sympathize with him.
"Hualien" - The rat shelt is one of the oddest characters in Panamindora, in my opinion. Getting more insight into him fills in a few gaps in understanding the larger Panamindora story. I did enjoy the voice modification that was done to achieve some of the voices, it’s a nice touch.
"Night in the Crystal City" - A coda for one of the more interesting characters from the Panimindora trilogy, this is the first non-backstory piece in this collection. It’s interesting, erotic and shows hope for a character most readers/listeners would have thought lost. I have always enjoyed how thought for the possible physiology of the shelts is taken into consideration in Abbie’s stories, even in sex.
"Professionals” - Silveo is one of the most popular characters from the Guild of the Cowry Catchers series, and one of my favorites as well. Seeing where this deep and complex character came from is a fan’s dream. | library |

At the middle of the century XVI, the Romanian country recognized the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, but remained an autonomous state, in exchange for the payment of the tribute.
Vlad Dracul was the ruler of the Romanian Country between 1436 and 1442 and from 1443 to 1447.
Member of Basarabilor family and son of Mircea cel Bătrân. The Lord of the Romanian Country was officially a vassal of the King of Hungary.
He was also a border commander with the responsibility of protecting trade routes between the Romanian Country and Transylvania for the Roman Catholic Church. Although Vlad was in favor of the Catholic Church, it is known that he killed members of the rival line of the Bessarabians, the family of Danes.
Wallachia is a state that emerged in the Middle Ages, whose territory was initially limited to the north by the Carpathian Mountains, and a part of the territory of the Romanian Country had been part of the Roman Empire between 105 and 271. The battle of Posada was the war of independence of the Romanian Country.
The period of turmoil in the Romanian Country coincided with a similar period in its main antiottoman ally, Hungary. During the dynastic battles for the Buda throne, the stability of the Hungarian kingdom was ensured by a Transylvanian nobleman of Romanian origin, Ioan de Hunedoara, who became voivod of Transylvania.
He intervened in the dynastic struggles of the Romanian Country, supporting Draculae and strengthening the reign of Vlad II Dracul.
In the Romanian Country, Vlad Țepeș rose against the Ottomans in 1459, even started raids on the right of the Danube and achieved what the Crusaders had not succeeded 65 years ago – to occupy Nicopolis. Vlad’s Ottoman expedition led to a resounding failure in 1462, the sultan himself being close to being killed in the night attack in the Ottoman camp near the capital Târgoviște.
Vlad Țepeș was at that time a very controversial figure. Authoritarian and bloody gentleman, he often resorted to cruel punishments. He was known especially for the death penalty by firing in the stern, a cruel method even by the standards of the time.
First documented in 1459 by Vlad Tepes, Bucharest is the main city of the region and the capital of Romania.

“'Sometimes I feel like I’ve lived a thousand lives already,’ he laughs. ‘And one thing I’ve learned is there is no right way to walk this earth, and we can only learn from those in our lives, take whatever lesson we can from it and keep going.’”
Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop is the first Rebecca Raisin book I have read, despite the fact she has authored so many titles. The book was a birthday gift from a friend and is outside my normal preferred genre, but she thought I might connect with the main character, Rosie, due to mutual life experience. And she was right! I fell in love with both Rosie and Aria immediately and could not put the book down once I had started it. At the beginning of the book, in a brief introduction of Rebecca it states, “Rebecca aims to write characters you can see yourself being friends with” and I think she completely nails it with this one! Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop is a comforting, simple read that lifts you out of your own reality with ease, just like a good read should.
Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop follows the adventures of Rosie Lewis, an ultra tidy, meticulous Michelin-starred Sous Chef who suddenly finds her world turned upside down when her husband confesses to his extra-marital affair. Unable to forgive his cheating, Rosie drowns her sorrows in a glass of wine and awakens the next day to find she has spent most of her life savings purchasing a bright pink campervan named Poppy on the Internet. Rosie suddenly catapults herself into life on the road with Poppy, making ends meet selling tea and baked goods at fairs and festivals. She meets several other nomads, with stories of their own, along the way who become an integral part of her new life, especially irresistible Max, who becomes embroiled in a sort-of love triangle with Rosie and an Internet stranger named Ollie. Rosie learns some hard life lessons in her new helter-skelter life, including that not every act of kindness has an ulterior motive, but also that you cannot trust everyone you meet, especially on the Internet.
Reading Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop was straightforward and enjoyable. Rebecca’s writing is simple, easy to follow and flows beautifully. Part of not being able to put the book down was the ease of reading. I found something relatable in each and every one of the characters. Rosie’s need to have a plan, Aria’s need for space when her grief overwhelmed her and Max’s way of dealing with stress by cracking jokes all resonated with me, making it easy to love each one of them. The story was heartwarming without being too sappy. Rosie is a damaged soul who gets the short end of the stick at first but overcomes her fears, rooted in past traumas, and opens herself up to love again. Far too many romance novels are quite cringe-worthy, but Rebecca’s telling of the way Rosie falls for Max (and Ollie) is not sickening at all. Perhaps it is the way she concisely describes the story's events, without jamming too many banal adjectives in to one sentence that does it for me. Or the way she develops her characters through their inner, romantic thoughts rather than cliché raunchy action.
Even though this book is fiction and that I know that fiction is not necessarily supposed mirror real life as it exactly happens, it took me a long time to get over, or wrap my head around the fact that someone like Rosie would just give up everything and suddenly start a life on the road. It is not until later in the book that we learn a little more about Rosie’s past, and one can begin to understand her desperate need to find a way to prove Callum wrong when he says she is turning out like her father. Perhaps if the information about her childhood was presented at an earlier integer, I might have been a little more forgiving of her apparent sudden change in personality. Or perhaps I need to get my nose out of the book, remember it is fiction and not get so caught up in the events of Rosie’s life? I think Rebecca has just done a fantastic job of making me fall for Rosie, like she set out to do in the first place.
Four out of five stars from me – I am off to order some more Rebecca Raisin titles! | library |

And although we've become used to popping pills, Americans have finally had it with the dangerous side-effects, addiction, and over-prescription — and they're looking for an alternative.
Here's the good news: That alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments that have been used for eons by cultures around the world. Ancient Remedies is the first comprehensive, layman's guide that will bring these time-tested practices to the masses.
In Ancient Remedies, Dr. Axe explains the foundational concepts of ancient healing — concepts that stand in stark contrast to the approach we typically see in Western medicine — and how they can be used to cure more than 70 diseases, ranging from ADHD to diabetes, pneumonia, autoimmune disease, and beyond. Readers will learn how traditional healers identified the root cause of each patient's illness, then treated it with natural approaches derived from plants, flowers, mushrooms, and herbs, all of which they catalogued and studied over hundreds of years. From CBD to essential oils and other traditional medicines from cultures around the globe, Ancient Remedies offers readers everything they need to know about getting, and staying, healthy — without dangerous chemicals. | library |

Gypsy Lore Society Young Scholar’s Prize in Romani Studies
The Gypsy Lore Society established the Gypsy Lore Society Young Scholar’s Prize in Romani Studies for the best unpublished paper by a young scholar on a topic in Gypsy and Traveler Studies. The prize is a cash award of $500. The winning paper will be published, after any necessary revisions, in an issue of the journal Romani Studies.
Papers written in English by undergraduate students, graduate students beyond their first year of study and those holding the Ph.D. who are no more than three years beyond the awarding of the degree at the time of submission are eligible to compete. Any topic that would be deemed appropriate for the journal Romani Studies will be considered. In order to be eligible, the submitted paper must be unpublished and not under consideration for publication at the time of submission. However, papers that have appeared in a „working paper” series are still eligible for consideration in the competition. Those that have appeared in conference proceedings volumes of any sort are not eligible, unless they are substantially revised and/or expanded. Written versions of papers that have been presented at a conference are eligible, as are papers based on chapters of dissertations or M.A. theses (raw dissertation chapters or M.A. theses themselves are not eligible). In all cases, however, the selection committee will look for self-contained scholarly articles of publishable quality that treat some relevant topic in an interesting and insightful way.
The prize committee also invites submissions in languages other than English. The committee will identify suitable referees for such languages, but if it cannot find them, then the paper is not accepted for this year’s prize.
The deadline for receipt of papers for the current cycle is October 30, 2011. The screening committee expects to make the announcement of the winner by January 30, 2011. The committee reserves the right not to award the prize in a given year. Interested scholars should submit their papers along with an abstract (no longer than 250 words) to the e-mail address below.
Submissions should follow the following format: Maximum length: 50 pages; font: Times New Roman; size: 12 point; spacing: 1.5; header or footer maximum: 2.5 cm or 1.5 in. The header must contain only the title and the footer must contain only the page numbering.
Submission file format is rich text file (RTF, MS Word compatible). Files bigger than five MB should be sent on CD to the postal address below. A cover sheet should be included, with the title of the paper, the author’s name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers, date of entrance into an appropriate program or of awarding of the Ph.D., and US social security number, if the author has one. Your name should appear on the cover sheet only.

Her self-esteem was at an all-time low. She barely recognized the woman she had become. Determined to change her life for the better, she entered the doors of her local gym and never looked back. The minute she hopped on the treadmill she felt like she was taking control of her life again. Her confidence grew as she found the motivation to take care of herself – something she had lacked for years. After learning how to Eat Clean, Tosca's life accelerated to new heights of health, vitality and confidence.
As she shed unwanted pounds, Tosca underwent a profound transformation. For the first time in her life she was happy to take center stage. She was confident, joyful and ready to take on the world. At age 42, with the support of her husband Robert Kennedy, she entered her first physique contest. Undaunted by the younger competitors, Tosca took fifth place in her class.
Tosca knew she had tapped into something wonderful and wanted to share it with the world. She realized that if she could make these small but pivotal changes in her life, anyone could. She began writing a column in Oxygen,
a renowned fitness magazine. Tosca shared her personal story of transformation, her triumphs and her challenges, as well as her advice to others. Readers were enthralled with Tosca, flooding her with fan mail and questions. Recognizing that others were as hungry for change as she once was, Tosca decided to record her journey in a book entitled The Eat-Clean Diet
®. The book initiated an eleven-title series
that has sold over two million copies! The latest in the series is The Eat-Clean Diet® Vegetarian Cookbook,
filled with 150 brand-new recipes for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free eating styles.
Tosca’s ability to share her no-holds-barred wisdom in a firm but tender-hearted, concerned manner has made her a hot commodity. Along with her “Raise the Bar” column in Oxygen
magazine, she writes a column for Clean Eating magazine,
has been a host on Extra
and a guest on numerous national television programs including Good Morning America
and The Doctors,
was the star of her own reality show, Tosca: Flexing at 49,
and tours North America consulting and conducting seminars for companies, government agencies, schools and private organizations. Audiences are captivated by Tosca's high energy, no-nonsense delivery of her message, responding with everything from tears to laughter.
In 2012, Tosca hit the stage again for the Ontario Physique Association’s Oktoberfest Classic in the Bikini Grand Masters division. She took home top prize in her category at the age of 53, proving that you are only as old as you feel. She lives by the following credo by Goethe: “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
Tosca Reno was born in Lachine, Quebec. She graduated with a B.Sc. from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario and a B.Ed. from York University in Toronto, Ontario. Tosca lives in Caledon, Ontario. | library |

Edgar Rice Burroughs
September 1, 1875 – March 19, 1950
Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American fiction writer best known for his celebrated and prolific output in the adventure and science-fiction genres. Among the most notable of his creations are the jungle hero Tarzan, the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter and the fictional landmass within Earth known as Pellucidar. Burroughs’ California ranch is now
the center of the Tarzana neighbourhood in Los Angeles.
The Moon Maid is a fantasy novel belonging to the Lost World sub-genre. It was written in three parts, Part 1 was begun in June 1922 under the title The Moon Maid, Part 2 was begun in 1919 under the title Under the Red Flag, later retitled The Moon Men, Part 3 was titled The Red Hawk. As evident from its name, Under the Red Flag was originally set in contemporary Soviet Russia, with the Bolsheviks as villains; as this was not popular with the publishers, Burroughs transferred it to a science-fictional setting, with the evil Communist-like “Kalkars” taking over the Moon (in the first part) and then the Earth (in the second part, with the help of a renegade Earthman) and being finally overthrown in the third part. (Also the Thorists, villains of Pirates of Venus, are clearly modelled on the Russian Communists.)
The book version was first published by A. C. McClurg on February 6, 1926, under the title The Moon Maid, though it was shortened from the serial. The Three Parts have been published in varying combinations and under varying titles since 1926. | library |

Thanksgiving: A Historical Overview
Thanksgiving, a holiday deeply ingrained in American culture, traces its origins to the early 17th century. It began as a harvest festival, celebrating the bountiful yield and the fruits of collective labor. The Pilgrims at Plymouth, alongside Native Americans, shared a feast that symbolized cooperation, gratitude, and the spirit of community. Over the centuries, Thanksgiving has evolved, yet its core values of gratitude, unity, and the celebration of community endeavors have remained steadfast.
DigiByte Community: A Reflection of Thanksgiving's Spirit
The DigiByte community, approaching its tenth anniversary, mirrors these Thanksgiving values in the digital realm. Like the early settlers, this community is built on the foundations of mutual support, diversity, and a shared vision. The principles of blockchain technology – transparency, immutability, and decentralization – align closely with Thanksgiving's ethos of collective welfare and gratitude.
Diversity and Inclusivity: The Cornerstones
Just as Thanksgiving brings together people from diverse backgrounds, the DigiByte community thrives on its inclusivity. The blockchain space, often perceived as complex and exclusive, is demystified and made accessible by this community. Their efforts in promoting diversity within the ecosystem echo the Thanksgiving tradition of welcoming and unity.
Service to Mankind: Beyond Technology
The DigiByte community's commitment extends beyond mere technological advancements. It involves lending a hand to those in need, reflecting the Thanksgiving tradition of providing service to mankind. This is evident in the community’s initiatives aimed at promoting digital literacy, ensuring cybersecurity, and fostering a safe digital environment for all.
A Decade of Trust and Progress
As they near a decade in existence, the DigiByte community reflects on its journey with gratitude. Their blockchain technology, lauded for its robustness and reliability, is a testament to their collective efforts in building a system that is not just technologically sound but also ethically grounded. The community cherishes this achievement, recognizing its potential in bridging global divides through a transparent and immutable digital infrastructure.
Looking Forward with Gratitude and Hope
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the DigiByte community celebrates not only its achievements but also the challenges that have spurred growth. They are thankful for the opportunity to contribute to a technology that promises a more secure, transparent, and equitable future for all. As they look forward, they do so with the hope of continuing to serve and uplift communities, much like the Thanksgiving tradition of sharing and giving back.
Conclusion: A Shared Journey of Gratitude and Purpose
The DigiByte community's journey resonates deeply with the historical and cultural significance of Thanksgiving. It's a story of people coming together, embracing diversity, and working towards a common goal for the greater good. As Thanksgiving reflects on the past and hopes for the future, so does the DigiByte community, bridging the world forward with a technology that's as much about human values as it is about digital progress | library |

Bring me men to match my plains
Men with empires in their purpose
And new eras in their brains
–Sam Walter Foss, The Coming American
In the early pre-dawn of the Cimarron national Grasslands, with the coyotes making their last rounds, singing before they slunk to their dens for the day, I stood and watched the curtain of light unfold across an ever clouding sky. The grasslands, the plains of the southwestern corner of Kansas were awakening; and they appeared to be angry. As passengers on wagons along the Santa Fe Trail awoke on mornings like this they added another fear to the list of many — weather. Regardless of preparations or guile, of planning or purpose, this land decides what will happen at any given moment. And today, it would decide for me.
From the southernmost corner of what many regard as the greatest Indian empire ever assembled — that of the Oglala Sioux Chief Red Cloud — I set out to follow the Santa Fe Trail into northern New Mexico. Red Cloud was a plains Indian at heart and was largely afraid of mountains, preferring to use the low hills of the front range for religious ceremonies and stick to the grasslands. You could see people coming from a long way away on the plains and, if you were as ruthless as Red Cloud, you could build an empire there. With hands bloodied with the lives of other tribesmen and white men alike, he did just that. And as I rolled up the Cimarron Canyon and over the mountains of Taos Pines, I found some wisdom in sticking to the prairies.
The grade and terrain of the mountains ground my progress to a slow crawl and the pounding snowstorm threatened forward progress at all. I imagined Red Cloud sitting on Point of Rocks watching the plains and enjoying the satisfaction of ruling a land he knew, could predict and could manage. But I also thought of the people moving west, people who thought of a new era, people who viewed hardship as investment rather than omen. And so on I climbed, up and over the mountains of Ponderosa and Lodgepole pine, across the broad saddles dotted with high lakes, and down to Santa Fe. From there I followed an old friend.
Last Fall I spent a couple of weeks riding the southern edge from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, and for most of the entire trip, I had the Rio Grande river on my left shoulder. Today, after falling out of Colorado and gaining strength from tributaries in northern New Mexico, the Rio Grande was back, but this time, on my right shoulder. From Taos down through Santa Fe, the river led me out to the carved sandstone buttes and Mesas of central New Mexico and then bid farewell at Albuquerque as it turned south and east to the southern edge. I continued west to the New Mexico Arizona border where, after 10 1/2 hours at the wheel, I stopped. Tomorrow I will, as others before have done, continue west and cross the Mojave Desert, pushing to the Pacific again. Pushing to the edge.
From men like Red Cloud who built empires on the plains, to others who conquered the mountains in search of a new era, there has been one constant. The land alters us. It changes plans, it gives sustenance, it takes away will. In the end, the old ways of fear and bloodshed were replaced — with the help of the land — with a single, united piece of ground linking cultures, topography, families and foes, from east to west, north to south, into an unbreakable chain of liberty. Liberty birthed in the east, manifested and sustained by the sacrifices made pushing west, and matured by the certainty of common dependence. We didn’t build an empire after all. We built a nation.
But we had to get to the western edge to start knitting it all together. And I have a ways to go yet. | library |

Nails, circa 1817
Henderson County Historical Society Collection, JJA.1938.121.1-5
These are hand-forged iron nails taken from the ruins of John James Audubon’s mill in Henderson, Kentucky. The nails were most likely created during the construction of a grist and saw mill owned by Audubon & Bakewell between 1816 and 1817. Henderson librarian Susan Starling Towles (1861-1954) acquired the nails in this collection after the building burned on March 18, 1913. The Henderson County Historical Society later donated the nails to the Audubon Museum in 1938.
Where can you view these objects? As of the writing of this post, the nails are located in Gallery A at the Audubon Museum.

Switching back and forth from feeling giddy and happy, to being sick to my stomach with anxiety, but then moments later laughing out loud. I could NOT stop myself from reading but I would force myself to, to ensure I'd have more for later. Once put down, all thoughts were on picking it back up. Natalie's writing is so intimate and honest, it makes it impossible not to care for her and be in awe of her strength. Definitely a book that punches you in the gut but then wipes away your tears, and in my opinion, a must read for anyone." Maggie R. Via Amazon.com, 2012
"The Third Sunrise" makes you grateful for everything you have in your life. Natalie endures a path that makes you want to reach out to her, yet it shows you that her strength is beyond words. If you're wondering how it is to live a life that involves: addiction, bi-polar, anorexia, bulimia, depression, and feeling alone then this is the read for you. Once I started reading, it was impossible for me to put her book down. Her words are so powerful you begin to feel how she is feeling. To accomplish what Natalie has sends a message to all of those struggling people with no hope that anything is possible. This is a must read for everyone who likes to read, I look forward to her next book!" -Sasha Bowes, Amazon.com, 2012
"Natalie's honest portrait of her life is refreshing and intriguing. This book is the perfect read for anyone wanting to look inside the mind and world of someone dealing with addiction and bipolar disorder. Natalie serves the reader well by not holding anything back. It's a gritty, real look into this world that many find themselves in. Having dealt with these issues myself I found this book to be just what I needed to read. It mesmerized me the many things that we shared though our journeys were different. I found it comforting to see someone dealing with the same issues, yet thriving in the end. Don't feel like you need to have bipolar or an addiction to read this book! It's a great read and should not be passed by!" Kimberly via Amazon.com
"There are many bipolar memoirs on the market but none are quite like this one. Natalie exposes unique aspects to both mental illness and addiction. She speaks of what it's like to be a bipolar child - with interjections from her family - and to grow up plagued by many mental health issues such as an eating disorder in addition to bipolar disorder. She then goes on to detail how she was driven to addiction to deal with the suffering she felt from her mental health issues. Her relationships with others also elucidate her own mental state. The Third Sunrise follows in the footsteps of Hornbacher's Madness: A Bipolar Life but charts its own path in the words of a younger author. I would recommend this book for those wishing to see a glimpse into what it's like living with mental illness or addiction issues. They will find it compelling and a book they look forward to picking up."-Natasha Tracy, Aug 2012 Amazon.ca
"This book is an extremely well written narrative of a young woman's battle with early onset Bipolar Disorder and Addiction. I found it to be compelling and contemporary. It is a biographical journey that takes you through the thought processes of a young woman trying to find her way through mental illness, substance abuse and eating disorders. What I like is that it is brutally honest and very introspective. It chronicles the feelings of despair, hope and shattered dreams as Natalie tries to overcome her battles with Bipolar Disorder and Substance Abuse. I feel this book would be both beneficial to someone with mental illness as well as a friend or parent whose lives intertwine with those afflicted with either an affective disorder or dual diagnosis. I can also appreciate that it does not offer advice or a therapeutic cookbook on how to best deal with these afflictions. I think it is an upbeat book that takes a firsthand examination of a very troubled existence. I look forward to reading more from this articulate young author." -Mark Braun, MS RPhAug 2012 Via Amazon.com
"Natalie Jeanne Champagne's memoir, The Third Sunrise, is a brave and remarkable achievement. With searing, heart-rending honesty, Champagne's imaginative prose lays bare the reality of severe mental illness and addiction. What's more she does so without seeking sympathy or masochistic scorn. The Third Sunrise is a tale of suffering and desperation but it is sprinkled with spunky, caustic wit and beautiful moments of simple humanity.
Champagne's pre-teen diagnosis of bipolar disorder, after previous misdiagnoses of “family issues” and ADHD, puts her in a minority for a condition that more commonly presents in a person's early twenties. We are given a graphic, unflinching account of her despairing bouts of depression and her unhinged manic episodes as a child- a child who has barely reached puberty but is already forced to cope with almost unimaginable suffering. “I am twelve years old the first time I am hospitalized,” we are told. “My father drives me to the emergency room because he doesn't know where else to take a child who is threatening suicide and hiding knives in her room.”
The author describes the utterly opposite states of a bipolar sufferer so powerfully and skilfully that the reader finds themselves experiencing the peaks and troughs with her and yearning for some balance. Champagne invites us openly to see what agony life can be and how lonely and self-destructive severe mental illness makes a human being.
The author's cruelly truncated childhood and severe symptoms take a heavy toll on her caring yet powerless family. Her parents are left at their wit's end as Champagne is forever in and out of psychiatric units, takes to self-harming, chases her siblings around the house with a knife and begins to depend on heavy drugs and alcohol from a very early age. “This is why I have become an addict,” she tells us. “The realization that I could not be healthy has tainted my soul.”
Champagne, however, is by no means forever the victim of the piece. We see different sides to her as she grows up, aspects of her which she has trouble distinguishing the source of- “what is Natalie and what is The Illness?” She can be cunning and manipulative when in hospital and cutting and cruel in her dealings with staff and fellow patients. The infantilising and dehumanising nature of the mental health system, and indeed of mental illness itself, play a large part but it is Champagne's biting humour and strength of character that most stays with you.
As intelligent and self-knowing as Champagne clearly is, you sometimes feel that this only serves to make her illness worse. She must cope with the impossible guilt of knowing what her illness is doing to her loved ones but nevertheless feels powerless to stop it or even know why she is the way she is. Champagne simply can't accept the instructions of a nurse or doctor if she doesn't respect their intelligence. She must question everything and everyone around her as she already questions herself and her own life. You have that much more ammunition for self-attack when you know where you are going wrong but still can't break the cycle.
Some readers may be shocked to hear the uncensored inner monologue of an angry and hurt young woman who regularly ponders suicide and who is left reeling by multiple addictions and compulsive self-harm. This is our culture's mistake. We want people to suffer in silence despite the widespread prevalence of mental disorders. This is the painful reality of severe mental illness and addiction, a reality difficult enough alone without the persisting stigma that envelops it. The way to tackle that stigma is for brave, honest writers like Natalie Jeanne Champagne to share their experiences and force society to recognise the seriousness of the problem.
The candor of this memoir will undoubtedly help those who have been affected by bipolar disorder, drug and alcohol addiction, sexual assault and self-harm as well as their families. It is this and the author's once seemingly impossible, yet now flourishing recovery of which she should be most proud.

In total, the Lindsborg community received more than $15 million from the David J. Nutt Trust. The McPherson County Community Foundation received over $7.4 million. Bethany College and the Lindsborg Community Hospital were gifted more than $3. 7 million each. Other beneficiaries of the trust are Trinity United Methodist Church, The Lindsborg Community Library and The McPherson Old Mill Museum and Bethany Home.
In the trust document, Mr. Nutt was specific in stating the reasons funds were gifted to each of the organizations. To the Lindsborg/ON Fund of the McPherson County Community Foundation a 50 percent endowment was given for the education, health, and quality of life in the Lindsborg Community. Bethany College received 25 percent of the trust to continue the college’s uplifting influence on the community and in gratitude for the kindness of two former Bethany college librarians, who were also Mr. Nutt’s neighbors, Vendla and Edla Wahlin. They provided Mr. Nutt’s first paid work experience by hiring him to do chores as a child, and they encouraged him to continue his education beyond high school. The Lindsborg Community Hospital received 25 percent in appreciation of the care Mr. Nutt’s parents received during their later years.
The other beneficiaries also received praise and cause for their gifts. Trinity United Methodist Church, in appreciation for the religious instruction Mr. Nutt enjoyed there as a child and the support of his family, received $100,000. The Lindsborg Community Library received $100,000 to celebrate the benefits a good library brings to the community. In the trust document, Mr. Nutt stated the information gleaned in community libraries was largely responsible for his investment successes. McPherson County Old Mill Museum also received $100,000 to aid in the preservation of McPherson County history. | library |

Hidden mysteries leave their mark and result in disturbing Echoes of the Past.
Whether you’re new to Echoes of the Past, or a devoted fan already, this new release by H.B. Lyne will take you deep into the dark lives of some of the city of Caerton’s most enigmatic shifters. This collection of short stories chronicles events 10 and 5 years prior to the novels; as well as hidden events in the novels themselves.
In a City filled with hungry shadows and twisted nightmares, how will Ariana survive the beast within?
When Ariana Yates’ nightmares start bleeding into reality, she fights to resist the changes draining her body. When she finally relents, a whole new world opens up before her; a world that is equally terrifying and fascinating. She is welcomed into a new family, and discovers that the city of Caerton is home to a host of shapeshifters, who guard the veil between the world of humanity and the realms of deadly demons and inhuman fae.
Ariana must adjust to the radical changes in her life, and struggles to balance her humanity with the beast within, in the midst of a hidden, war-torn world.
Mysteries unfold and tensions mount in this thrilling first instalment of Echoes of the Past.
An ancient evil crawls up from the pits. Heroes will be made or broken.
Deep within the city of Caerton, shapeshifters hide in the guise of humans, secretly fighting to protect them from the unimaginable demons and supernatural elements that threaten their world.
Caerton’s newest shifter, Stalker, faces an uncertain future; as her pack struggles to cope with their devastating loss, dark forces begin to mass in the shadows. Tensions with the Witches continue to threaten the north, while the young shifters desperately strive to determine which of the city’s elders they can trust.
As an ancient and deadly evil emerges from beneath the city, Stalker and her new pack face a frantic race against the changing face of the moon. Can their demonic enemy be defeated? Heroes will rise in this, the second thrilling instalment of the Echoes of the Past series, where creatures from our darkest nightmares stalk our world…
The city of Caerton plays host to a hidden world of shapeshifters, who must control the often deadly fae and demons that threaten humanity. But there are divisions among the shifters, and deep mistrust between the elders. Caught in the middle is the newest pack, the Lightning Lords.
A deadly and personal attack on the Alpha’s human family shakes the Lightning Lords from their peaceful winter, and they are plunged into a desperate hunt for answers that leads them into the darkest pits of their territory’s history.
Meanwhile, Stalker faces even greater challenges as she juggles her human life and secret shifter existence. She must determine who her real enemies are and where she truly came from.
Feisty young shapeshifter, Stalker, has two enemies to overcome. Her city stands surrounded by a vast shifter army, ready to overpower Stalker and all those who will not kneel, be they shifter or human.
Stalker doubts who she can trust, when there is a sinister chaos cult working in the shadows: their decades-long work to bring about the end of the world will end in chaos and fear. The demons are coming to destroy the world of humanity.
Can Stalker and her pack defeat the darkness and bring order back to the city? Will her Alpha be able to unite the packs to defeat the army before humanity is enslaved?
Reaping of Summer is the exhilarating conclusion to the four-book series, Echoes of the Past. Action packed and fast paced, this dark and twisting urban fantasy tale of treachery and demons will leave you begging for more! | library |

Some Ecologists refer to this document as the ‘bat bible’ with the newest 3rd edition published this week; available as a download from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) and in print from NHBS.
The 3rd edition contains the latest evidence and best practice guidelines, along with new and revised content. This includes new chapters on bat surveys of trees, advanced licence survey techniques and new sections on acoustic surveys at swarming sites and how to use statistics to analyse bat survey data.
This document has been reviewed by the 2nd edition authors who represent BCT, Natural Resources ales (NRW), Association of Local Government Ecologists (ALGE) and ecological consultancies, but also by representatives from Natural England (NE), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and an Local Planning Authority (LPA). Unfortunately the wind farms chapter has been removed from the 3rd edition guidelines along with the major infrastructure project chapter due to a delay in the publication of the National Bats and Wind Turbines project report. First Ecology have contacted the Bat Conservation Trust and have been informed that separate guidance is to be produced on windfarms which should also be available in the next few months. Until this date the relevant guidelines as stated in one of the chapters of the 2nd edition still stand. | library |

Parenthood is an incredible journey filled with milestones, challenges, and moments of pure joy. As parents, we are constantly seeking ways to ensure the best for our children. This is specially true when it comes to their development.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the importance of baby development books. We’ll explore some of the best titles available and provide tips on how to choose the right book for you and your little one.
Why Baby Development Books Matter
The significance of baby development books extends far beyond simple parenting advice. They also serve as invaluable companions on the remarkable journey of parenthood. In the whirlwind of caring for a newborn, understanding the profound impact of early experiences on a child’s development is crucial. Baby development books offer a beacon of knowledge, guiding parents through the maze of infancy with evidence-based insights and practical wisdom.
Harnessing the Power of the Early Years
At the heart of why baby development books matter lies the recognition of the critical window of opportunity presented by the early years of a child’s life. These formative years serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning. These years shape everything from cognitive abilities to emotional resilience. Understanding the nuances of infant development equips parents with the tools to provide nurturing environments that optimize their child’s potential.
Empowering Parents as Partners in Development
Moreover, baby development books play a pivotal role in empowering parents to become active participants in their child’s growth journey. In a world inundated with conflicting advice and societal pressures, these books offer a sense of reassurance. They give confidence to navigate the complexities of parenthood. From deciphering developmental milestones to addressing common challenges like sleep regressions and feeding struggles, these resources foster a sense of competence and resilience in parents.
Fostering Understanding and Connection
Furthermore, baby development books foster a deeper understanding of the unique needs and temperament of each child. By delving into topics such as attachment theory, brain development, and sensory processing, parents gain insights into the inner workings of their baby’s mind and body. This understanding cultivates empathy and strengthens the parent-child bond, laying the groundwork for a supportive and nurturing relationship.

Exploring the vast array of baby development books available can be overwhelming for new parents. However, each book offers its unique perspective and insights into nurturing your baby’s growth and development. Here are some additional recommendations to expand your reading list:

Choosing the Right Book for You
Selecting the perfect baby development book can feel like embarking on a daunting journey through a vast ocean of literature. There are countless titles promising to guide you through the intricacies of infant development. How do you know which one is right for you? Fear not, for we are here to navigate these waters together and help you find the perfect match for your parenting journey.
Understanding Your Parenting Style and Values
The first step in choosing the right baby development book is to understand your own parenting style and values. Are you drawn to gentle, attachment-based approaches, or do you prefer more structured, evidence-based strategies? Take some time to reflect on what matters most to you as a parent and look for books that align with your beliefs and priorities.
Considering Your Needs and Preferences
Next, consider your specific needs and preferences as a parent. Are you a first-time parent looking for a comprehensive guide to baby care? Or are you seeking targeted advice on a particular topic, such as sleep training or feeding? Think about the areas where you feel least confident or most in need of support. Prioritize books that address those concerns.
Reading Reviews and Seeking Recommendations
Once you have a better understanding of your parenting style and needs, it’s time to start researching specific books. Reading reviews from other parents can be incredibly helpful in gauging the usefulness and relevance of a particular book. Look for reviews that highlight the book’s strengths and weaknesses. Pay attention to any recurring themes or concerns mentioned by multiple reviewers.
Additionally, don’t hesitate to seek recommendations from trusted sources such as friends, family members, or healthcare professionals. Personal recommendations can often provide valuable insights that you won’t find in online reviews. This helps you narrow down your choices and find the perfect book for you.
Exploring Different Perspectives
It’s also worth considering exploring books that offer different perspectives or approaches to baby development. While you may have a clear idea of the type of parenting philosophy you subscribe to, exposing yourself to alternative viewpoints can broaden your understanding and enrich your parenting journey. Keep an open mind and be willing to explore books that challenge your preconceptions or introduce you to new ideas.
By following these steps, you can confidently choose the right baby development book to guide you on your parenting journey. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. It’s okay to experiment with different books and strategies until you find what works best for you and your baby.
In conclusion, baby development books are invaluable resources for parents seeking to support their child’s growth and learning. By investing in the right books and taking the time to read and implement their advice, parents can lay a strong foundation for their child’s future success and well-being. | library |

- Log-in to the AWS management console http://aws.amazon.com/console/
- Select the region where the EBS volume already created.
- Go to the volumes section, click on the exact volume which you need to re-size and create a snapshot from that volume.
- After creating the snapshot, go to the snapshot section and create new volume with new size. After sometimes you can see new volume is available on the selected region.
- Then login to the server and unmount the volume. (say the volume attached is /dev/sdc)
[[email protected]]# umount /dev/sdc
Then go the volumes section on aws management console and detach the existing volume from your server, then attach the newly created volume. Please note that while attaching the volume put the device name as before the old volume used. (That means if old volume is attached to the server as /dev/sdc, then the new volume should be attached as /dev/sdc). You can see this on /etc/fstab or the command “df -h” will show you the device name.
- After attaching the new volume from management console, login to the server and execute “mount -a” (should have /etc/fstab entry there) or manually mount the volume using “mount” command.
- Execute “df -h” and you can see volume is attached , but the size of volume is still old. So now we need to re-size the file system.
To re-size the file sytem do the following things
[[email protected]]# resize2fs /dev/sdc
On some servers you need to execute “e2fsck” before “resize2fs”
Done !!! Please check and make sure the newly created volume size is available on your server. | library |

James Martin—popular media commentator on Colbert Report and New York Times bestselling author—says this about Martens:
"John Martens reminds us that the Gospel of Mark is a dramatic book—with an energetic Jesus moving rapidly from one exciting moment to the next. Martens’ book is a terrific invitation to encounter Jesus of Nazareth in all his immediacy and excitement. Bringing together deep learning with his trademark flair for clean, clear, direct prose, Martens offers us one of the most creative and innovative books on the Gospel that I’ve read in years."

“The Gospel of Mark Commentary is the first of the Bible Junkies Commentaries which will ultimately cover the entire New Testament. The commentaries will emerge, like the Gospel of Mark Commentary, on the website www.biblejunkies.com in a series of weekly installments which will then be revised and crafted for book form. The goal is to bring solid biblical scholarship to as broad a readership as possible and to make this scholarship accessible to anyone who is interested in exploring the Bible. The goal of Bible Junkies is not to create controversy and rancor, but to create meaning and to provide readers with comprehensive insights into each book of the New Testament. The ultimate goal is to addict you to the truth, to make you a Bible Junkie.” | library |
